Using this perspective, discussions will focus on identifying policy gaps and opportunities that influence women’s lived experiences of entrepreneurship, including access to finance, networks, skills development, and digital capability.Central to the event is the amplification of female entrepreneurs’ voices, creating space for dialogue that reflects the complexity of real-world decision-making and supports more inclusive and responsive policy design. By bringing together academia, industry, policymakers, and entrepreneurs, the event aims to strengthen collaboration and contribute to evidence-informed, adaptive approaches to inclusive growth in EssexOn the day - Please be sure to sign the register to let us know you have attended.
