SUMMARY:BAIA Panel: Women Entrepreneurs, the US vs. the European/Itali
 an Experience
DESCRIPTION:Despite their majority representation at colleges and univ
 ersities as well as increased participation in science and engineering
 , women are under-represented among business founders, particularly in
  high-tech and in other high-growth fields. In addition, there seems t
 o be a disconnect between opportunities and resources in equity fundin
 g for high growth women-owned/led businesses. This is true for the U.S
  but even more so for Europe and Italy.\n \n\nWhy are there still so 
 few women entrepreneurs in high tech, biotech, clean tech and other hi
 gh growth industries?\nHow do the organizations supporting women entre
 preneurs compare in the U.S vs. Europe/Italy?\nHow effective are the d
 ifferent educational systems in providing and encouraging technical an
 d business training for women?\nAre women taking advantage of the reso
 urces available for leadership development to grow their business?\nIs
  the VC community using two standards in funding companies?\n\n \nPAN
