Lioness Business Agility Webinar Report

The 3rd Lioness Business Agility Webinar of the year took place on 26 June, as always hosted in partnership with Absa, and this time focused on the theme of “YOUTH - celebrating a new generation of young women entrepreneurs building new businesses and creating jobs and opportunities for young people.” It’s an important topic because we need to recognise and support the work and commitment of young women entrepreneurs who are building successful, growth potential businesses and helping to drive economic growth in their communities. They are creating much-needed jobs with their businesses, whilst also creating proudly African products that the continent and the rest of the world wants to buy.

Event Report

The fourth in the series of Lioness Business Agility Webinars for 2023 took place on 16 August, hosted by Lionesses of Africa in partnership with Absa, and attracting an audience of 160 women entrepreneurs from South Africa. The theme of the webinar focused on “Business growth and getting funding ready,” and provided a focal point for National Women’s Month commemorations in South Africa. The aim was to celebrate women entrepreneurs who are helping to drive economic growth and create much-needed jobs with their businesses, recognizing that when their businesses grow, so too does the country’s economy. The event shone a particular spotlight on the important topic of business growth and how women entrepreneurs can get their businesses funding ready to support that growth.
