Female Entrepreneurs: Elevate Your Business and Enhance Your Soft Skills
Event Information
About this event
Join us for an exciting opportunity to network with other female entrepreneurs and expand your network. Through an analysis of case studies and group discussions, you will creatively solve problems faced by many women in business and reflect on your own soft skill development.
According to the Rose Review (2019), female led businesses receive less funding than those headed by men ‘at every stage of their journey’. The Inclusive Business Launchpad project aims to tackle issues faced by underrepresented entrepreneurs and promote equality through an innovative learning programme designed to maximise participants' confidence and self-efficacy.
During this event you will:
- Learn about key research relating to equal opportunities within business
- Network with other female entrepreneurs within Europe
- Learn about the Inclusive Business Launchpad Project and upcoming opportunities
- Participate in group-led discussions and activities
- Develop tools and techniques to enhance your soft skills and maximise your potential
- Listen to guest speakers discuss their experiences of being a female entrepreneur
