is a female entrepreneur you ought to know about, according to the Danish Chamber of Commerce.

Women and entrepreneurship

Women make up 25 per cent of Danish entrepreneurs.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden have fewer female entrepreneurs than the OECD average. 

Fewer than one in six Danish entrepreneurs have a female role model – 15 per cent. This number is growing, however.

Female entrepreneurs face obstacles more often than men when trying to raise capital for their businesses.

Venture capital goes nearly exclusively to male entrepreneurs.

100 kroner invested in a company founded by only women give a 25 per cent higher turnover compared with companies with only male founders.
