Closing the Funding Gap for Women Entrepreneurs
Overview
The IFC estimates that there is a $300 billion financing gap that exists for women-owned small businesses globally. More than 70% of women owned small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have insufficient or no access to financial services. What more can be done by financial institutions in order to address these barriers? What role do educational institutions have to play in empowering women?
The Financial Times, in partnership with Home Credit, will host the Closing the Funding Gap for Women Entrepreneurs digital dialogue, to explore the role that business leaders, financial and educational institutions have to play in addressing the underserved potential of women entrepreneurs globally.
