Inclusive Innovation Economy| Women, Money, Jobs, and the Impact of COVID

Since the start of the global pandemic in 2020, less funding has been issued to women and women founders. What does that mean and how do we stop the backwards slide?

This conversation series seeks to engage leaders from our local civic community who are creating cultural change and to offer participants concrete actions for making a difference in their own circles.

By examining the hard problems constructed by systemic racism and sexism in the innovation ecosystem, every conversation is an opportunity for inclusion to take root.

This event is open to all members of the MIT community. Space is limited. Register early.
