Closing of ZIT Call FemPower Innovation 2009
Jury decision at the end of September 2009
The economic development scheme INNOVATION, initiated at the beginning of 2008, has been an additional form of financial support provided by ZIT for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vienna. An initial analysis has shown that the share of women with co-responsibility for project development is very low, even in the case of innovation projects with a close proximity to the marketplace. This is similar to the situation in industrial research.
For this reason, the current funding competition is designed to increase opportunities for women to play a leading or significant role in the implementation of projects, also in the large group of innovation-oriented companies.
A further goal of this call for tenders is to provide support to innovative, gender-relevant projects.
