Expertise and information exchange are crucial to keep track of developments. One of the goals of the Women in FinTeCH initiative is to complement existing activities with an important underserved perspective, in the wider support of commercializing ideas and growing them into successful and sustainable FinTech-Businesses.
Additionally, women are more likely to opt for flexible working arrangements, which are currently still uncommon amongst large corporations. In contrast, startups might well be able to deliver on this growing need and a lot more able to provide attractive professional realization. For this the Women in FinTech group provides a support framework, enabling the community to learn from other knowledgeable members.
