International women's rights day: Institut Curie commits to women's entrepreneurship

Although women make up 49% of the working population in France, they found only 9% of businesses and fewer than 2% of start-ups responsible for disruptive innovations. To mark International women's rights day, Institut Curie reaffirms its commitment to women’s entrepreneurship. Through a support program that has enabled the creation of 33 companies since 2002, Institut Curie is working to remove barriers to women entering entrepreneurship and to address the structural obstacles that hinder their growth trajectories.
