Women are an emerging economic force. In emerging markets across the globe, women are expanding their participation in business and stimulating economic development. The voices and leadership of women entrepreneurs are now essential to enlarging access to opportunity and invigorating the democratic process.

The Community of Women Entrepreneurs shares ideas, experiences, best practices, and resources to empower women economically and politically. Members of this community are leading entrepreneurs and business advocates who share their knowledge and in return receive fresh ideas from their peers. Discussion in this community focuses on supporting a culture of entrepreneurship, expanding the opportunities for women in business, and advocating for a better business environment.
