Inforum’s ACTiVATE program guides women through the whole process of business development -- from conception to commercialization -- and connects them with resources and subject matter experts. The program also helps women overcome the unconcious barriers created by the gender gap in STEM field businesses. Though 60 percent of STEM graduates are female, only three precent of new businesses in those fields are started by women. ACTiVATE’s goal is to help women achieve parity within 20 years.
Inclusion is a critical building block of the new economy, and NEI is proud to support Inforum and other organizations that are giving women entrepreneurs the tools they need to succeed.
