Gender bias in the investment and corporate worlds
Did you know that 39 percent of all businesses in the US are owned by women? Female entrepreneurs get only two percent of venture funding. So what is causing this gap? And what is the situation in the corporate world? 

Women are particularly affected by biases in both corporate and investment worlds. How to be more diverse and inclusive?

 Listen to our high-level speakers, they will share experiences and pragmatic tools to better handle gender bias at work:

• Including women, at all points along the funnel 

• Understanding and preventing unconscious bias

• Delivering effective support to female-led businesses 

This event targets: Investors, corporates, incubators, government agencies and other organizations funding and supporting startups 

 Join us online for this French Tech Talk Free Webinar on Thursday 3 September at 6:30 pm!
