Abstract

Interesting career possibilities for women emerge from technology entrepreneurship. Although the trend is improving, women entrepreneurs starting technology-based firms lag far behind men. The traditionally masculine identity of the ‘entrepreneur’ represents a major challenge for women interested to start a technology business. In the university ecosystem there is a ‘triple gendered’ situation – technology, technology studies and the gendered environment of academic incubation hubs that support start-up. This paper draws on a structured literature review (SLR) to frame the gender issues of women technology entrepreneurs within the university ecosystem. The aim of the paper is to develop insights for the emerging European University Alliances such as the European University of Technology (EUt +) to help fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems for women in technology fields.
