Unlocking The Entrepreneurial Ambition Of Women
Thu, April 10, 2014; 13:15 - 14:30
Location: SBS, Nelson Mandela Lecture Theatre
Female entrepreneurship is an “economic promise” capturing attention of governments, corporations, and civil society all over the world, since small- and medium-sized enterprises are engines of economic growth and stability. Currently, women are creating businesses at a greater rate than men in Ghana, Nigeria, and Thailand. Despite proven benefits of women’s economic engagement, female entrepreneurs face disproportionate barriers in growing their businesses: difficulty accessing credit, markets, and equal protection under the law. Join optimistic female entrepreneurs and those that are helping women around the world overcome financing and legal barriers.
