Although they are still a minority in the ecosystem, more and more women are becoming entrepreneurs. They are daring to take on everything. We show it in this extensive and diverse gallery.

The presence and leadership of women are growing across different sectors, from technology to craftsmanship and law, highlighting their strength and influence in today’s business landscape.

This does not mean that all the work has been done to achieve parity in entrepreneurship, but entrepreneurship is the path many women choose to pursue their dreams.

Marisa Berenguer: Farmalider and Idea Therapeutics

Since 2022, Marisa Berenguer Muñoz has been the CEO of Farmalider, a 100% Spanish pharmaceutical and biotechnology company that has been operating since 1986.

Berenguer has been linked to the company’s board since 1997, initially as an advisor and also involved in governance matters. Now, as CEO, she leads the strategy, development, and international expansion of prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and everyday pharmaceutical products for health care (divisions also known as MED (Rx), OTC, and Consumer Health). She is also responsible for coordinating all actions related to licensing and partnerships.

In addition, Berenguer is leading an innovative initiative to diversify the company. She is the CEO and founder of Idea Therapeutics, focused on advanced therapies. Through this company, AGAcell is being developed — a cellular platform currently in the research phase aimed at offering a treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Thanks to this work, she was recently recognized by the Spanish Association of Women Entrepreneurs (ASEME) as Entrepreneur of the Year.
