It goes without saying that access to finance is essential for entrepreneurs. However, women entrepreneurs are struggling to get their ideas funded.
Why Do Female Entrepreneurs Receive Less Than 3% Global Capital Investment? Well, Belgium is no different, according to NCP (National Contact Point Brussels), women constitute a slim 8% off the entrepreneurs in Brussels, frequently lacking access to financial opportunities.A recent study conducted by BNP showed that women received only a 7% off the funds raised by the 600 tech fundraising campaigns launched in the country in 2016.
This event shall cover the financial resources available for women entrepreneurs in Belgium and will discuss the best ways to ensure women’s access to finance, we will also share with the best (secret) tips to run a successful crowdfunding campaign then conclude with a networking and reception.
