The startup ecosystem in Europe is quite diverse. As of now, women in technology are under-represented and not event get the same level of recognition that men have. Of course, the gender gap that has been followed for decades or even centuries is to be blamed for this.

However, the scene witnessed a transformation of late with several female tech entrepreneurs taking leadership roles. These female-founded startups are bringing about a positive change in the business world. While a handful of women-led startups are striving hard towards boosting other aspiring women in the business world, here we list 12 female-led startups in Europe as listed by EIT Digital Accelerator’s ‘Women in Deep Tech – European Landscape 2019’ report’s Digital Finance category.
