Women and Economy

Strengthening the presence of women in the economy

Women play an important role in the economy even though they are still underrepresented in decision-making positions. In fact, only one in five companies in South Tyrol are female.

For this reason the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano supports female entrepreneurship and promotes female managers. In 2010 started the initiative “Women and Economy” with the aim of strengthening the position of women in the economy. Since 2011 there is an advisory board for the promotion of female entrepreneurship at the Bolzano Chamber of Commerce.

For all those interested, there is a broad range of services available at the Bolzano Chamber of Commerce.
