"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."
Professor Kiran Trehan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Enterprise, Partnerships and Engagement
The University of York and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) have conducted research to understand the barriers faced by female founders in York and North Yorkshire. This research has reported on 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.
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.
