Check out this recent summary of a 2018 panel co-hosted by Innovators Magazine and the Knowledge4Innovation (K4I) Forum in the European Parliament, exploring how gender-diverse leadership leads to better outcomes.

At ELI, we emphasize the value of diverse perspectives in fostering entrepreneurial thinking — a mindset that drives creativity, critical problem-solving, and resilience. By encouraging inclusive environments where all voices are heard, organizations can unlock innovation and create sustainable impact.

The article concludes with an update to these critical messages from the panelists: There is a need to start early with young girls, who are, as one commenter said, "underrepresented in these areas. We need to promote inclusive educational programs and mentoring for the next generation, ensuring that barriers of gender bias are dismantled before they solidify."
