FyrstGen participated in a high-level PRME roundtable at United Nations Headquarters in New York as part of the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), reinforcing its commitment to responsible innovation, inclusion, and sustainable economic development. The panel, titled "Investing in Her Innovation: Financing the Next Generation of Women Leaders," convened policymakers, academics, and global institutions to advance the conversation around gender equity in innovation finance.

The data presented at the session made the case for urgency. While 54% of university-level students globally are women, they account for only 17.7% of inventors on international patent applications, and women-led companies receive just 2–3% of global venture capital. These figures reflect a structural imbalance that is not the result of a single failure point, but of a system that filters women out at every stage — from selection panels to investment committees to capital allocation.

FyrstGen's contribution focused on how its Company Building as a Service (CBaaS®) model addresses these imbalances by design. By standardizing and automating almost every part of early-stage company building, CBaaS® removes the gatekeeping and gender biases that has historically required women innovators to rely on the "right network" to commercialize their IP by applying the following:

• Standardized equity structures that eliminate negotiation bias,

• Automatic visibility for innovations based on quality rather than founder profile

• Separates innovation from entrepreneurship — ensuring that brilliant women inventors are not forced to become founders for their work to reach the world.

As a direct outcome of FyrstGen's participation, FyrstGen will be launching a women-only portfolio — dedicated to propelling the potential of women-led innovation across the globe.

Investor participation in the portfolio will initially be exclusively from women-led investment committees, making this one of the most purposeful and differentiated vehicles in FyrstGen's growing portfolio ecosystem and a tangible response to the financing gap highlighted during the CSW69 discussions.

The CSW2026 engagement builds on FyrstGen's broader collaboration with the UN Global Compact and PRME, and reflects a shared ambition to ensure that innovation, value creation, and capital flows reach every community equally. As FyrstGen continues to expand its global partnerships, initiatives such as the women-only portfolio underscore its commitment to working alongside international institutions to shape the future of responsible innovation, inclusive finance, and long-term societal impact.
