Women's Economic Imperative

Women’s Entrepreneurship

Women entrepreneurs make significant contributions to economic growth, wealth creation, innovation and employment. Yet, their participation is constrained by structural impediments and biases, including within entrepreneurial ecosystems. 

Focusing on women-owned/led firms in the missing middle, WEI aims to:

  • Create pathways for women to build and scale enterprises
  • Re-constitute entrepreneurial eco-system supports that meet the needs of diverse women
  • Enhance the effectiveness of support services by addressing biases in solution design and sector knowledge about equity, diversity and inclusion.
  • Support efforts to build pipelines of scalable, viable and bankable women-owned/led SMEs
