Women entrepreneurs are no longer merely participants in the quickly changing economy of today; rather, they are leaders influencing innovation, business, and sustainable growth. However, despite their influence, structural obstacles still prevent women from fully engaging in international entrepreneurship. Research indicates that less than 2% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses worldwide, and the gender gap in entrepreneurship is still present in all regions.
G100 × SHEconomy has started Mission Million, an ambitious project to empower and unite one million women entrepreneurs globally, in order to address this issue and hasten inclusive progress.
Why Mission Million?
It will take more than 130 years to attain gender parity globally if current trends continue, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report. Although entrepreneurship is essential in closing this gap, women continue to encounter obstacles when trying to expand their businesses, obtain funding, and integrate into international supply chains.
By creating a global, digital-first ecosystem where women can interact, work together, and prosper in global marketplaces, Mission Million aims to close these gaps.
