A New Era for Female Entrepreneurship in York & North Yorkshire
"We have reached a tipping point, where governments, business support organisations and female entrepreneurs themselves realise the enormous value of female enterprise to the regional and national economy. It is vital for the future success of the region that we have a clear, data-driven understanding of the needs of this community, to ensure that we maximise our, and their, chances of success and drive Inclusive growth for all.”
Prof Kiran Trehan, PVC for Enterprise, Partnerships and Engagement, University of York and Professor of Entrepreneurship

Research
The University of York and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) are conducting research to understand the barriers faced by female founders in York and North Yorkshire. The research is looking at how women are overcoming social bias and barriers to business as well as what needs to be done to remove the necessity for continued gender equality conversations over the next decade.
Numerous reports have highlighted the benefits of female entrepreneurship to the British economy, demonstrating their untapped potential and the necessity to address challenges women face in succeeding in business.
In developing this report specifically for York & North Yorkshire, we hope to address the challenges unique to this region and co-create solution-based approaches.
Report Launch
We will launch the findings from our research, and our subsequent report on the 12th of June 2024 at the Guildhall.
This interactive event will outline the enormous benefits of supporting female entrepreneurship, the lived experience of our region's female business owners, the key findings on how to support our regional female entrepreneurship and drive change to a more diverse, inclusive, and prosperous economy in York and North Yorkshire.
