Women who start up: bring your ideas to life
Women who start up - bring your ideas to life is an initiative of the Innovation Office of the University of Bern.
The aim of the initiative is to promote diversity in the field of academic entrepreneurship. In 2021, only 15% of spin-off founders at Swiss universities and research institutes were female. With Women who start up, we want to help increase this share in the future.

Female Founders TECH Edition
The analysis of gender differences in the tech startup sector shows that women are consistently underrepresented compared to their male counterparts and face particular hurdles. This underscores the need for systematic research to address gaps and foster women's inclusion in technology startups. Join us and learn more about the challenges and opportunities for female entrepreneurs in the tech startup industry.
The initiative
Be inspired by female entrepreneurs who have experienced the path from an idea to their own company. They share their experiences, honestly and unembellished. Learn new skills that will be useful when implementing your own projects or discuss current social challenges and hurdles, how we can tackle them and take advantage of opportunities.
The Women who start up - bring your ideas to life initiative aims to connect, inspire and provide first-hand practical tips. Always with a special focus on the challenges faced by women and minorities in particular. However, diversity is everyone's business and we welcome participation from people of all genders.
The program is organized by the Innovation Office University of Bern.
