Empowering Women Innovation Leaders in Australia and Southeast Asia: A regional blueprint
8 March 2021: Women innovation leaders bring ideas and experiences that help grow the economies of Australia and Southeast Asia. Increasing women’s participation in innovation is particularly important given that the impacts of the global pandemic will exacerbate gender inequalities and further delay economic parity - preventing the region from realising its full economic potential.
Empowering Women Innovation Leaders in Australia and Southeast Asia: A regional blueprint report builds on our initial report Showcasing Women Innovation Leaders in Australia and Southeast Asia (launched in November 2019) as part of the Australian Strategic Launch of the ASEAN Women in Innovation Leadership Dialogue.
In collaboration with The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, the Empowering Women Innovation Leaders in Australia and Southeast Asia: A regional blueprint report expands on the interrelationship between entrepreneurship, start-ups, business and STEM, and the importance of female leadership across these sectors in driving innovation. The report also provides a blueprint for greater regional collaboration to empower women in innovation leadership in Australia and Southeast Asia.
