About Matilda Power
Women in biotechnology and medicine, although they are indispensable, and represent 65% of biomedical scientists, do not have gender equality, only occupy 17% of senior positions, and have a lower salary than the male gender (Motte, 2018). In addition, only 22% of biotechnology companies were founded by a woman (Surdez, 2020).
​
If we support women scientists to become entrepreneurs, we can increase the economy in Australia by 70 million and the global economy by 3 billion.
We are a platform oriented to the development of skills, knowledge and capabilities and thereby support your venture so that it becomes a means and / or tool to improve your environment.
​
You will be provided with gender–sensitive business education, interdisciplinary link, pitch presentation, communication skills, and mentorship. These are designed by experts in the ecosystem to promote innovative entrepreneurship, job creation, sales, women who seek to transcend through their products in Bio&MedTech.
