From a young age, girls are systematically tracked away from pursuing careers in science.
Teachers and parents have lower expectations of girls' science and math abilities as early as preschool.
Women represent only 30-35% of STEM graduates in Sweden.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship
Only 23% of entrepreneurs in Sweden are women, and female entrepreneurship in Sweden has been declining in recent years.
Women face unique challenges accessing funding and building networks in male-dominated start-up fields.
By elevating the success of young women, the Kosuri Foundation is challenging stereotypes and aiming to close the gender gap in science and entrepreneurship.
