The new study, ‘Women Founders in European Deep Tech Start-ups’ reveals that women founders in the field receive less total funding compared with men founders. According to the study, women

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are seen as the fields of the future, with expanding job opportunities creating the goods, services and innovations that shape our daily lives.
