Gender Gap in Investments 🇧🇪 Brussels

The Gender Gap in Investments project is a European Parliament Pilot Project implemented by the European Commission, aimed at addressing the significant disparities in investment that exist between women-led companies and women-led funds.

The core objective of this initiative is to develop a comprehensive study that will establish a harmonized methodology for robust and systematic data collection. This methodology will serve as the foundation for accurately assessing the gender investment gap, enabling policymakers and stakeholders to identify and understand the underlying issues more effectively.

On 24 September, Kinga Stanisławska, co-founder & president at European Women in VC joined an opening event in 🇧🇪 Brussels and moderated a panel on "Driving Gender Equality: Key Findings from European Women in VC 2024 report and Lessons from the Leaders". ‍

Panelists were:

• Silvia Manca, Head of Social Impact Programme at European Investment Fund
• Victoria Hernandez, Non-executive Director (NED) at Caixa Bank Payments & Consumer
• Anu Meerwaldt, Development Manager at Spark Finland
• Nora Bavey, General Partner at Unconventional Ventures
