Riassunto:Intervention is needed to improve women-led companies’ access to finance. In a recent study, EIB’s InnovFin Advisory assessed the availability of finance for women-owned and managed companies in Europe as compared to the United States.

Restarting the EU economy after the coronavirus pandemic provides a unique opportunity to tackle gender barriers to finance.
