In the current modern era, when people are talking about gender equality and news about achievements made by women are hitting the web almost every day, there seems to be a vast difference in the role of men and women when it comes to entrepreneurship. Especially, women in technology have been overshadowed by men and fail to get the same level of recognition as the opposite gender.

However, it looks like things have started changing greatly as women in the tech sector are getting to the spotlight gradually. The reason is that there are not many women entrepreneurs in the tech sector and the ones who exist are celebrated and honoured. And, we are sure that this Women’s Day, these women founders of successful European startups will inspire others to also achieve big.
