Guaranteeing that every potential founder, entrepreneur, and innovative mind has equal opportunities to put their ideas into concrete actions is paramount to an inclusive, diverse, and strong startup ecosystem. By addressing diversity and equality concerns, it is possible to foster stronger ecosystems for everyone, regardless of gender, race, education, culture, socio-economic status, religion, sexual orientation, or disabilities.
Substandard 7.1 — Incentives for startups
Establishing an inclusive ecosystem requires the implementation of appropriate incentives for startups to hire and include individuals from diverse backgrounds, avoid social exclusion linked to low income, limited education, location, culture, or disability. In addition to these incentives, the goal is to highlight and recognise successful examples of startups led by different and diverse profiles.
