The Women and Equalities Committee have published their report in response the enquiry exploring female entrepreneurship in the UK. The Committee calls for the Autumn Statement to unlock the economic potential of female entrepreneurs along with an ambitious Female Entrepreneurship Strategy to sit alongside the Industrial Strategy and Small Business Plan.

The Spending Review and modern industrial strategy mark historic moments that will define this parliament and the rest of the decade. But if the next few weeks have any hopes of providing a ‘launchpad for businesses’, actions must better support women in the economy – placing them front and centre to provide the certainty that inspires active participation.

Through this inquiry, MPs on the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) are investigating the challenges women encounter in entrepreneurship, examining which sectors present the greatest barriers and why. techUK welcomes this initiative, recognising the urgent need for a comprehensive assessment of how to better support female-led enterprises.
