One of the goals of the German government's start-up strategy is to strengthen female start-up founders and diversity. At 20 percent, the EXIST funding statistics show that the proportion of female founders is higher than the national average and has been on the rise in recent years in particular. The commitment of the start-up networks with their wide range of offers to raise awareness among women and to promote and network female founders has also contributed to this positive development.

With EXIST-Women, women at their university who are interested in starting a business and have an affinity for entrepreneurship are given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the topics of start-ups and self-employment at an early stage. Even more than before, the start-up networks at universities are to be encouraged to motivate female graduates, scientists, students and women with professional qualifications and a connection to the university (e.g. technical assistants, chemical-technical assistants, administrative assistants) to become entrepreneurs. The new EXIST funding line includes events, counseling and support services as well as a financial grant for prospective female founders.
