As a result of the funding discrepancy, female entrepreneurs lack equal opportunities to innovate and build successful companies that can contribute to the global economy. This is despite the fact that those who do receive funding develop businesses that perform as well – or better – than their male counterparts.

Shaping sustainable finance: 

A new UBS paper on the trends that are set to shape sustainable finance in 2021, published this week for the WEF’s Davos Agenda (virtual) meetings, addresses challenges linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.
