Further, Tina gave her views (9-Dec-2020) on the topic of “Increasing the role and impact of woman inside the innovation ecosystems”.
Tina outlined three actions for EIA to tackle gender inequality in innovation. First, the policy should lean in where the money comes from, such as venture capital and public sources. Second, the EU needs to help these investors overcome unconscious biases and see the benefit of diverse teams. Third, diversity must be fostered in the workplace, with senior female representation showcased in the boardroom and below.
