Celebrating Global Women’s Entrepreneurship Day

Yesterday, 19th November, marked the 3rd global Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED). Launched in 2014, WED works globally to empower women and girls to become active participants in the economy by igniting a network of women leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to initiate startups, drive economic expansion, and advance communities around the world. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, WED builds and catalyzes the vital networks of like-minded individuals and organizations that women business leaders need to realize their full potential and change the world. WED is celebrated in 144 countries and 110 universities. Each year it convenes Business Leaders, Government Officials and Civil society to collaborate and find solutions in critical areas of entrepreneurship eco-systems, education and policy creation to empower women in business. Since the first WED in 2014, the organization has  become a powerful network for women in business, and has reached over 5 billion people. It promotes best practice, links women entrepreneurs with partners and consumers, and supports its global ambassadors to drive societal and economic change.
