How do you build a thriving business when the odds are stacked against you?
About this Event

Celebrate National Women’s Enterprise Week (NWEW) with insights from Inspiring Entrepreneurs at this powerful panel discussion. Featuring women who have challenged conventions, broken barriers and built impactful businesses on their own terms, this event addresses a critical gap: currently around 1 in 5 UK businesses is women-led (The Gender Index).

Hear honest stories of resilience and the determination required to turn a spark of an idea into a thriving enterprise. Across the Business & IP Centre network we are proud to support underrepresented founders — a commitment reflected in the fact that over 60% of our users are women.

Come along to gain fresh perspectives, connect with like-minded people and be part of a community changing the face of entrepreneurship. You’ll leave with real-world lessons you can apply the very next morning.
