The parties that have joined Code-V come from both the public and private sectors: from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy to major banks and interest groups. According to the parties involved, data insights, interventions and investments are needed to contribute to equal entrepreneurial opportunities in the Netherlands. Equal entrepreneurial opportunities for women lead to significant benefits such as job growth, innovation, sustainability, greater financial resilience and a growth of the Dutch economy by an estimated 139 billion euros, according to research by ABN AMRO and McKinsey. <\/p>\n
Aligned objectives<\/strong><\/h6>\nStartGreen Capital fully supports the objectives of the alliance. As a fund manager, StartGreen works together with its portfolio companies to build a more diverse and inclusive economy. Borski Fund even focuses entirely on closing the gender gap in venture capital. It does this by improving access to capital for companies that have a female (co-)founder, or that bring a product or service for women to the market. Invesdor focuses on initiatives that contribute to one or more Sustainable Development Goals \u2013 certainly including SDG 5: gender equality<\/em> \u2013 and has already financed many companies founded or run by women. <\/p>\nLaura Rooseboom, Co-founder of StartGreen and partner of Borski Fund: ‘More funding for female entrepreneurs leads not only to more equality, but also to more diversity in the innovations that enter the market.’<\/p>\n
About Code-V<\/strong><\/h6>\nCode-V aims to stimulate female entrepreneurship by removing barriers and offering them better access to financing and essential knowledge. The initiative also focuses on increasing social awareness of the financial inequality between female and male entrepreneurs, in order to eliminate this inequality and create equal opportunities. The ultimate goal is a more diverse and inclusive business ecosystem that stimulates innovation and increases women’s labor participation. It also contributes to economic growth by supporting female entrepreneurs in scaling up and international expansion. This requires systemic changes and strong collaboration between public and private sectors. <\/p>\n
Global approach<\/strong><\/h6>\nThe Netherlands is the fourth country worldwide to initiate a partnership to improve the entrepreneurial climate for women. The main source of inspiration is the success achieved in the United Kingdom with the Investing in Women Code<\/em>, which has already led to a significant increase in the financing of female entrepreneurs there. <\/p>\n
