European Parliament Pilot Project on Gender Gap in Investments
The European Parliament Pilot Project on Gender Gap in Investments, managed by the European Commission's Executive Agency for European Innovation Council and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (EISMEA), is a pioneering initiative aimed at addressing gender disparities in the investment landscape. With a focus on women-led companies and women-led funds, this project seeks to uncover and analyse the root causes of the gender investment gap.
To achieve this, the project will develop a comprehensive study, utilising a harmonised methodology for robust and systematic data collection. This approach will allow for accurate assessments of investment disparities, and the development of suitable data analytics techniques to identify and address the gap effectively.
Local Events: Gathering Insights and Driving Change
From September 2024 to June 2025, a series of local events will be held in 10 countries across Europe. These events are a critical component of the EP Pilot Project on Gender Gap in Investments, serving as platforms for direct engagement with key stakeholders.
The success of this project relies heavily on the valuable feedback and expertise gathered during these events. Each local gathering will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, including entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, academics, and community leaders.
