Which EU countries have the biggest gender gap when it comes to investment?
00:08
Across Europe, only about one in five tech companies created between 2020 and 2025
00:14
included at least one woman founder.
00:17
The highest levels of gender diversity were found in Latvia at 27%,
00:21
Italy at 25.9% and Portugal at 25.2%.
00:27
By contrast, countries such as the Czech Republic and Hungary remain well below the European average.
00:33
These differences highlight the need for better policies, funding and transparency
00:37
to ensure that women can reach their full potential, according to the European Commission.
00:42
Estimates say that equal participation by women entrepreneurs could increase EU GDP
00:46
by approximately 600 billion euros, with countries like Poland seeing growth of 1.6%
00:53
and the Netherlands up to 5.5% by 2040.
00:57
Gender disparities also extend to capital ownership and investment behavior.
01:02
Women currently control about 5.7 trillion euros in Europe,
01:06
a figure projected to rise to 9.8 trillion euros by 2030.
01:11
If women invested on a parity basis with men,
01:14
Europe could mobilize an additional 2 to 3 trillion euros in private investable assets.
01:20
The gender investment gap has been put down to differences in risk appetite
01:24
between men and women, as well as societal expectations and financial education.
