Evidence · Partnerships · Growth

Building the evidence and partnerships women entrepreneurs need to grow.

Too often, the programs and policies meant to help women entrepreneurs are designed without evidence of what works, or for whom.

Women entrepreneurs around the world face persistent barriers in access to

  • Financing
  • Markets
  • Networks
  • Support

These barriers are greater for women who are

  • Indigenous
  • Racialized
  • Newcomers
  • Living with disabilities
  • In rural and remote regions

Barriers compound

Access to financing is even harder for women who are Indigenous.

I-NEW exists to close that gap.
