Beyond Gender Diversity: Current Insights and Needs of Diverse Founders – Panel Discussion
Description

Where are we on the journey beyond gender diversity? While progress has been made in increasing gender representation, true inclusion must expand to encompass race, age, ability, and socio-economic background. Yet with limited data, do we even know where we stand? How can we measure progress without clear insights?

In this panel, we’ll explore what we can learn from frontrunner countries that have pioneered a broader approach to diversity. We’ll also hear from the panelists’ own experiences on what diverse founders need, want, and deserve to thrive.

Together, we’ll discuss the structural changes necessary to ensure equity and create a truly inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem, unlocking innovation and growth for all.
