In Norway, roughly 30% of companies are started by women. But only 14% of entrepreneurs within STEM industries are women, and sadly only 1% of female entrepreneurs are within the deep-tech sectors. Coupling this with our strong belief that deep-tech companies will shape and change the future, we are committed to raising awareness of these issues and supporting women, especially within the fields of STEM and deep-tech.
At Solution Seeker we have been working actively to increase the share of female employees in our own company since the start and can proudly report that we have a 1/3 share today. We will continue to work on raising this number.
