Diversity and Female Entrepreneurship
As a university network, we see our contribution to strengthening diversity in the start-up ecosystem of the Hamburg metropolitan region in particular in tackling existing access barriers in a solution-oriented manner and making role models visible. Disadvantage thrives best where it is concealed or overlooked. With our offers, publications and official positioning, we would therefore like to take action against such blind spots in start-up support and offer access to all those who have a desire to start up.
We represent a broad understanding of diversity and do not limit our concern to the consideration of only one particular category. In our public relations work and program design, we pay attention to diversity-sensitive communication and deal not only with the significance of gender or so-called migration background in the context of founding, but also, for example, with the professional diversity among founders.
In our internal strategy, we have nevertheless decided to set a focus. The proportion of female founders in Germany remains low. This imbalance signals an urgent need for action. Wherever women are underrepresented, their specific perspectives fall short and much potential is lost that could benefit everyone in the form of innovations and economic as well as overall societal developments.
Founding remains an individual decision, but must not be prevented by structural discrimination and stereotypical role models. For this reason, we are committed to strengthening female entrepreneurship and valuing social diversity with our work and networking power.
