Dr. Maria Kunstadter, Doctor of Dental Surgery and co-founder of the Teledentist was a guest on the AlphaShow recently. During her time, she discussed Women’s Leadership and Entrepreneurship. According to a study by Springer Open’s Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research, scholars have reached a consensus that women can play a key role in the entrepreneurial phenomenon.
The study further revealed that. ‘‘Gender equality and female entrepreneurship are key factors in economic development. Economic development cannot be achieved without the active participation of women in all aspects of life. The share of women’s contribution to the economic and social development depends on the promotion of gender equality and gender blind support from the institutions.’’
