Women's Entrepreneurship Day

November 19 · Level 8 · #596 of 2238

Women's Entrepreneurship Day recognizes women who start and grow businesses. It also brings practical barriers into the conversation, including access to funding, useful business networks and opportunities to develop new skills.

How it is celebrated: entrepreneurs share their experiences at conferences, join mentoring sessions and meet potential collaborators. Business communities highlight women founders and recognize the work behind their companies.

The initiative's first celebration took place at United Nations headquarters in New York in 2014. That setting is a memorable part of its history, although the initiative itself is independent rather than an official UN observance.
