The Knowledge Economy: Women in the Know
Although increasing numbers of women in the EBRD region are earning graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men still dominate the knowledge-intensive industries that draw on this talent pool. Gains by women entrepreneurs are even less evident in the knowledge economy in transition countries.
The panel discussion focused on impediments to female participation in the knowledge economy and ways to capitalise better on women’s potential as innovators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.
