At the same time, questions and systemic issues are to be considered that encourage or deter women from founding a business. Existing interdependencies as well as the systemic network of economic activity and the increasing decisions under uncertainty will be given priority and will be researched, including what this combination of factors means for Swiss Fintech. The Swiss Fintech Ladies strengthens mechanisms that alleviate the handling of these challenges, in particular self-reflection, self-organization, ecosystem networking, coopetition, co-creativity by Swiss Fintech and also examines the barriers and success factors that facilitate or hinder founding by women founders , Another focus of the Swiss Fintech Ladies is the intended exchange of experience of women’s start-ups, as well as the removal of obstacles to female founding.
