International Bold Barometer

One of the ambitions behind this barometer was to observe and understand the evolution of female entrepreneurship over time.

Therefore, Veuve Clicquot launched the second edition of its barometer in 2021, this time covering 17 countries and 34 622 respondents (representative sample) – and exploring the impact of COVID on female entrepreneurship.

Veuve Clicquot’s barometer is one of the rare tools that allows us to truly understand the state of female entrepreneurship today, as it collects data not only from women but also the general population, hence giving us a global-long-term vision of society in all its complexity.
