Thank you for participating in the Event Next Gen Design: Women Creating the Future of Design.
Now please take part in the mentioned survey!
On Friday, September 20, 2024, at designforum Wien, the Austrian interest association and knowledge centre designaustria hosted a networking event about gender balance in the design industries.
Gender equality is an essential condition for an innovative, competitive, and thriving European economy. However, the gender disparity exists across the design industry.
Survey results by designaustria showed, while for instance 70% of graphic design students are women, only 11% of female entrepreneurs employ staff, even 0% of female creative directors employ more than 10 people.
To overcome disparity, a concise positioning and a conscious choice of business partners are essential. Connecting with peers is a crucial way to reflect, encourage, evolve and support.
