In a world where technology and innovation are the pillars of economic growth, inclusion and diversity have become more important than ever. The Neotec Women Entrepreneurs Program, driven by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI), is a clear example of how well-structured initiatives can have a profound impact on the business ecosystem, especially in dynamic sectors like digital technology.

What is the Neotec Women Entrepreneurs Program?

The Neotec Women Entrepreneurs Program is a CDTI initiative designed to support female entrepreneurs leading R&D (Research and Development) projects in tech-based companies. This program not only aims to provide funding but also seeks to break down barriers, promote gender equity, and contribute to the development of a more inclusive and competitive economy.

The initiative is targeted at young companies, less than three years old, that are led or co-led by women and have a strong innovative component. Through this support, female entrepreneurs have the opportunity to access the necessary resources to transform disruptive ideas into sustainable business realities.

Impact of the Program on Female Entrepreneurship

The impact of the Neotec Women Entrepreneurs Program goes beyond funding. By offering targeted support to women in the tech field, the program helps close the gender gap that still persists in this sector. Various studies have shown that female entrepreneurs face unique challenges. For example, according to a report by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2021), women often find it more difficult to access initial funding and venture capital, which limits their ability to scale innovative businesses.

Neotec not only addresses these challenges but also acts as a catalyst for the creation of a new generation of female business leaders in technology. By supporting projects led by women, the program reinforces the idea that diversity in business leadership is not only fair but also key to innovation and economic growth.

Our Commitment to the Program

At Workdeck, we feel deeply grateful and proud to have been one of the companies supported by the Neotec Women Entrepreneurs Program. Thanks to this support, we have been able to complete our R&D project, which propels us in the digital sector and strengthens our commitment to female leadership and inclusion in technology.

This program has validated our focus on innovation and the creation of technological solutions that make a difference. The funding received has been a fundamental driver for continuing to develop our ideas and carry out projects that would otherwise have been difficult to realize.

We firmly believe that diversity and inclusion are key to success, and we will continue working to create an environment where all voices, especially those of women, are heard and valued in the world of technology.
