There is nothing I like better than being able to share great news that can positively impact our Lionesses of Africa community, and what better day to do it than today, on International Women’s Day. One of the biggest challenges we hear Africa’s women entrepreneurs talking about is breaking into new markets, particularly in Europe. We know how tough it can be and how daunting it can seem to get your brand noticed by potential buyers and funders, and to get access to new markets and opportunities. We also know that more data is needed by key decision-makers in Europe on the important role played by women entrepreneurs in Africa in contributing to the social and economic success of the continent. So for all these reasons and more, today we announce the launch of Lionesses of Africa BV in The Netherlands, our new Europe office. Based in The Hague, the City of Peace and Justice, we will be working to raise the voices of Africa’s women entrepreneurs, collaborating with European decision-makers and social impact change-makers on initiatives that will help Africa’s women entrepreneurs to grow and thrive. We will also be working proactively to address the data gap by expanding our Lioness Data activities from our new office in The Netherlands. We are excited about this new phase of our Lionesses of Africa growth story and how we can advance and better connect Africa’s women entrepreneurs in Europe. We look forward to sharing more exciting news over the coming weeks and months.
Have yourself an inspired International Women’s Day!
