Next week we will announce a groundbreaking initiative that will reshape the future of technology investment and innovation: the launch of the Global Women Investors in Deep Tech Consortium and Impact Fund (WIDTIC). This announcement is taking place at the prestigious World Business Angels Forum (WBAF) in Bahrain, a gathering of influential investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders dedicated to economic development and innovation. The WIDTIC is a visionary collaboration designed to bridge the gap for women founders and investors in the high-potential, high-impact world of deep tech. Deep tech—advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, biotech, quantum computing, and blockchain—is critical in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from climate change to healthcare disparities. The consortium’s mission is to foster a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable tech ecosystem. By empowering women to lead and invest in deep tech, the WIDTIC aims to drive responsible, impactful innovations that align with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its vision for 2050. We welcome partnerships with stakeholders across sectors—founders, researchers, enterprises, mentors, and investors alike. We can collaboratively drive innovations that tackle global issues, prioritize ethical tech practices, and ensure that women play a leading role in shaping the future of technology. The launch of the Global Women Investors in Deep Tech Consortium and Impact Fund at the World Business Angels Forum is a call to action for those who believe in a diverse and purpose-driven future. Together, we can redefine the deep tech landscape, empowering women not only as participants but as pioneers of tomorrow’s most transformative technologies. With the support of the World Business Angels Forum, the WIDTIC will be a catalyst for change, accelerating the inclusion of women in deep tech and driving innovations that benefit society as a whole. Join us in building a future where women are at the forefront of the deep tech revolution, making a profound difference for generations to come. We are planning networking events, mentoring, founder and investor education, pod casts and regional summits. Tell us how you can help - we can’t do it alone . Together we are stronger .

No tech to die for. $5 Trillion untapped. This is the harsh truth:?Without women, deep tech will never reach its full potential. Only 15% of startups are founded/co-founded by women.? Only 7% are all-women teams.? Only 30% of the global AI workforce made up by women. Only 6% of deep tech are female founders in Europe. BUT, female-founded startups are more profitable.? They show a 30% higher return on investment.? (BCG and UBS report) Why women? ? They drive innovation. ? They bring fresh perspectives. ? They enhance team performance. ? They foster inclusive solutions. ? Invest in female entrepreneurs. Fuel their growth. ? Mentor young women. Share your expertise. ? Promote inclusive hiring. Create equal opportunities. ? Advocate for policy changes. Ensure fair practices. Women and girls belong in science. Inclusion fosters innovation. Every woman and girl should fulfil her true potential. Diverse leadership is not just fair; it’s smart business. ? UBS estimates the impact at USD 2.5-5 trillion: If women and men were to participate equally as entrepreneurs global GDP could rise by 3-6%, boosting the world economy by USD 2.5-5 trillion. Together, we can create a diverse, innovative, and inclusive deep tech landscape. Let’s ensure no talent is left behind. Tech is worth fighting for is tech led by everyone.

? In an insightful piece by Elise Quevedo, we explore the inspiring rise of women in tech as we enter Q4 of 2024. ? Once a male-dominated space, the tech industry is transforming with women now leading in roles across AI, cybersecurity, and C-suite leadership. Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are amplifying efforts to support gender balance, while nonprofits, mentorship programs, and education are paving the way for the next generation of female innovators. Yet challenges remain. The gender pay gap and underrepresentation in technical roles remind us there’s still work to be done. For many, tech is still an uphill journey—a struggle I know all too well, having faced discrimination and bullying in this industry. ?? Dive into Elise’s article to see how women are reshaping tech, the impact of female founders, and why diverse voices fuel innovation. Women aren’t just part of tech—they’re leading its future. ??

?? The Role of Deep Tech Diplomacy in Advancing a Sustainable Bioeconomy This insightful piece explores how cutting-edge technologies—like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing—coupled with global collaboration, can transform the bioeconomy for a more sustainable future. Written by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Vasiliu-Feltes, the article highlights the importance of deep tech diplomacy in aligning innovation with ethical standards and international goals. The bioeconomy—using biological resources for food, energy, and materials—is gaining traction as a driver of sustainable growth. Key technologies like AI, blockchain, digital twins, and quantum computing offer game-changing opportunities to advance it. But scaling the bioeconomy isn’t just about tech—it requires global cooperation and strategic governance. This is where deep tech diplomacy comes in. It bridges emerging technologies and international diplomacy, aligning innovations with sustainability, equity, and ethical standards across borders. ? How deep tech transforms the bioeconomy: AI: Enhances agriculture, bioenergy, and environmental conservation by processing large datasets. Digital Twins: Virtual simulations optimize land use, supply chains, and ecosystems in real-time. Blockchain: Creates transparent, traceable supply chains for sustainable production. Satellite Internet: Connects rural areas, enabling real-time monitoring of environmental data. Quantum Computing: Solves complex problems in drug discovery, bioenergy, and biodiversity. ?? Deep Tech Diplomacy for a Thriving Bioeconomy: Promotes international cooperation on AI governance, data sharing, and blockchain standards. Ensures tech access for all—bridging the digital divide between developed and developing nations. Aligns innovation with the UN’s 2030 and 2050 sustainability goals, driving climate action and clean energy. A future-ready bioeconomy requires collaboration between governments, industries, researchers, and communities. With deep tech diplomacy, we can build a sustainable world where technology benefits everyone, equitably and responsibly.
