WOMEN IN BUSINESS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Wednesday 16 November, 10am to 2pm at the Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village Hotel
Celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week and Women’s Entrepreneurship Day with Pink Link as we bring together leading female entrepreneurs to connect and see how we can make a difference. As part of GEW2022 we are taking this opportunity to hear from some female initiatives that are happening in Liverpool.
We welcome those women in business that want to make a difference and can see that by collaborating we can make an impact on the growth of female entrepreneurship.
GEW ECOSYSTEMS
One of the themes from GEW2022 is GEW Ecosystems which aims to inspire communities to collaborate and share their networks and markets to help rising startups thrive. This theme celebrates the shared challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurial communities and hubs around the world.
