Moderated by Lorena van de Kolk, Managing Partner at Schuttelaar & Partners, the discussion will explore the realities of entrepreneurship for women in Europe, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges they have encountered along the way.
The conversation will also connect these firsthand experiences with the findings of the report, “Women Entrepreneurs in Europe: Data, Barriers, and Recommendations for Support.” Participants will examine key themes such as access to finance, skills development, visibility, and structural support, while discussing practical actions needed to create a more inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
