Abstract/Key issues: Business clusters and networks of innovation do not seem to fit the values of female entrepreneurs. However, the vast and unexplored potential of female entrepreneurial participation is a precious resource. This workshop serves to discover myths on the drivers of growth and female entrepreneurs. The purpose is to knit a vehicle for enhancing gender and support for gender in this context.
