While one in three businesses worldwide are owned by women, they only get 1% of the procurement spend of big companies. This inequity means amazing women-owned businesses lose out on well deserved opportunity.

Our goal with the Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator is to equip both women-owned businesses and corporate procurement teams the right education for success!
