a bit better 20 percent in poland the best in the e.u. 24 percent difficulties catching the eye of venture capitalists is one of the main complaints with their folks martin is on the executive board at the business software maker s a p and tell tell me a lot about breaking through the glass ceiling but 1st of all tell me what's wrong with brothers tech startups e well look you know i think that when we look at the opportunity here is the opportunity is really to bring diversity which essentially brings innovation into that startup community and i think women in particular encounter some challenges and sometimes it's an unconscious bias in the narrative women tell us that they don't have role models in the tech startup area they tell us that they aren't able to find mentors and the narrative is with men how are you going to win and with women how are you going to prevent yourself losing and then as you said earlier you can see that reflected in how venture capital is allocated you know what is the problem is it is it's still

a boys' club amongst these venture capitalists i think it's a multi-faceted issue ben and i. think it stems all the way back to education and the uptake of stem based subjects specifically when relating to high tech startups for young women so it's a multifaceted problem all the way through starting with education how are you trying to change siri question thank you but i question what we're trying to change things using our startup accelerator called a safe. and we have a program in that called beyond boundaries we announced it in january $29000.00 and the idea if for us is that by $223200.00 off our startups will be startups that represent inclusive entrepreneurship so entrepreneurs that represent underrepresented minorities today and we've already off to a tremendous start we did launched in january we've $21.00 startups right now and 18 percent of our addressable funds are already going to those startups compared to

10 percent in the v.c. community give me some of the ideas that we're going to come up look it's incredible the range of ideas we're going from education to hiring to managing the chains on product provenance to actually managing supply chains we have women who've joined us today and from egypt from malaysia who flown into this excel writer so the breath of ideas is incredible it sounds very international what what is does europe compare them to say asia you've worked in asia as well is there a sense of change there i know some countries like japan are struggling to get women well i think you know asia is of course not a homogeneous environment and every culture is very different to japan as you rightly point out has struggled to get women into the into the workforce but china on the other hand has a very strong representation of women i think heading back from the time when women were seen to hold up half the sky so what would you say to women trying to set up a company or set up a tech startup i think to recognise that their absolute are opportunities to be

successful death r r. programs like s.a.p.'s io program that will support you that there are mentors available and if you have a great idea you must be tenacious in pursuing it what made you so to nations what made me so it's an ace oh my gosh yes just the opportunity that i could see with the role that i have the privilege to have to make a difference there thank you very much for coming thank you so much ben fuses spreading over the world's economic outlook investors dumping stocks and running for safe havens like bonds and gold official rate cuts from 3 central banks also show how trade tensions a shaking confidence in global growth. india the country where gold prices have soared to an all time high it was one of 3 countries to take markets by surprise on wednesday the indian central bank cut its benchmark rate by 35 basis points more than analysts expected. but india wasn't the only surprise for investors thailand
