The International Council for Small Business (ICSB)'s signature Paris event will bring together women entrepreneurs and business owners looking to explore how to overcome global challenges, unlocking innovation and growth-oriented entrepreneurship in the process. This event will bring together global leaders looking to empower women entrepreneurship and will cover an array of topics, including:
● Barriers and Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs
● The Role of Finance
● Digital Entrepreneurship

This event will also champion women entrepreneurs who are leading innovative and growth-oriented businesses as they present individual stories and discuss how public policy can better support the development of companies, such as their own. By doing so, this event aims to equip women MSMEs with the tools and resources to innovate in a competitive business landscape, strengthen local and global support networks for women, and develop mentorship and connections between women entrepreneurs and global leaders.
