Solche Bestrebungen sind leider weniger bekannt und dafür ist die Sichtbarkeit umso wichtiger. Ich möchte hier eine sehr interessante Organisation und eine bewundernswerte Frau vorstellen: Global Women Inventors & Innovators Network (GWIIN) [1] und Bola Olabisi, die Gründerin und CEO.

Nach Worten der Gründerin widmet sich die Organisation seit 1998 der Förderung der Frauen in der Wirtschaft zum Thema Innovation:

"... I wanted to raise the credibility and the involvement of inventive and innovative women. This can be done by bringing their stories into the spotlight and raising their awareness of the benefits of innovation. Although challenges met by women cannot be generalized and depend both on personal elements and on the context, when it comes to creativity and innovation men still dominate the scene: science, engineering and technology are traditionally men’s fields, and more likely to be linked to their career paths. From my experience as mother of four children and CEO, I am strongly convinced that flexibility to ensure a balance between work and family life is essential. ..."

Das Netzwerk ist sehr erfolgreich und konnte in vergangenen Jahren deutliche Zeichen setzen. Deshalb war der nächste Schritt nur noch eine Frage der Zeit:

"... Some European countries have understood this and are taking appropriate measures, but it is not enough. Sharing best practices between countries is essential. It is in this spirit that I’ve founded the European Women Inventors & Innovators Network (EUWIIN) [2] in partnership with London Metropolitan University: promoting opportunities for exchange for creative, inventive and innovative women across Europe is crucial in order to increase their impact on the innovation and knowledge-based sectors. ..."

Wirklich bewunderswert und als Beispiel mit einer Vorbildfunktion zu verstehen. Es ist nicht einfach in einer männerdominierenden Welt sich als Frau zu behaupten. Oft mangelt es einfach am Durchsetzungsvermögen und der Zielstrebigkeit, die den Männern durch die Erziehung beigebracht wird. Umso wichtiger sind solche Hilfestellungen.

Danke Bola für deine Arbeit!
