Details

The women-led high-growth enterprise taskforce was founded by the government to:

  • identify the main barriers women experience in accessing high-growth capital
  • suggest areas to stimulate regional opportunities based on robust data and engagement
  • raise the profile of women-led high-growth entrepreneurship

This report details the:

  • gaps in funding female entrepreneurs experience, and the challenges they face in becoming entrepreneurs
  • recommendations on how to remove these barriers and encourage more women to become high-growth entrepreneurs

The taskforce was established in May 2022 to identify ways to increase the number of women-led high-growth businesses. Although initiated by the government, the taskforce is independent and business-led.
