Project Outline
Entrepreneurship has the potential to improve the economic status and financial stability of women in Asia. However, the gap in access to resources, earnings and financial support between male and female entrepreneurs continues to widen. In collaboration with regional and global partners, this project aims to apply user centered design principles to support women entrepreneurs to gain access to technical assistance, skills training, and technologies that can facilitate business development and growth. Additionally, to develop a sustainable enabling environment, a focus will be placed on building an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem to advance gender inclusive incubation and acceleration in South East Asia.
