FERE is a research chair hosted within the GEM Foundation thanks to corporate and individual patrons. In the world of Tech, projects led by women are much less likely to succeed, whether they are entrepreneurial projects or the application of patents. If the woman comes from a disadvantaged social background, the trajectory of her projects will be even more penalized.
Today, the FERE Chair is the scientific partner of those supporting female entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and Ile de France regions with two specific focuses: Women from disadvantaged backgrounds and Women from the tech.
Its mission is threefold
- Produce scientific research work;
- Lead a community of female entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship coaches (inclusive and tech);
- Produce innovative educational tools (comics on entrepreneurship and innovation, card games, learning sessions for Premières).
