Hungary, Croatia and Sweden is the three leading countries in Europe when it comes to female business leadership, according to the Bisnode Index of Women Influence (BiWi). BiWi measures the share of companies that have a female owner, CEO or chairman of the board.

BiWi is a unique and important comparison of countries according to the influence women have on their economies", says Anna Albinsson, Chief Marketing Officer Bisnode
