Efforts Expand Support for Women Entrepreneurs

Recent initiatives highlight the growing influence of women entrepreneurs across various industries. In Punjab, India, women like Ravinder Kaur are transforming their passion into successful food businesses, supported by training programs at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) that emphasize health and wellness. Meanwhile, in New England, the craft beer scene is seeing an increase in women-owned breweries, driven by organizations like the Pink Boots Society, which empowers women in the predominantly male industry. Additionally, a report in Australia reveals that women-founded businesses could inject $135 billion into the economy, emphasizing the need for equitable access to startup funding and support. In Ohio, 'mompreneurs' face unique challenges, with many leaving their ventures due to personal commitments, despite a notable percentage of women-owned businesses. Lastly, a strategic alliance between Diverse Powered Brands and WEConnect International aims to connect women-owned businesses in the beverage industry with global buyers, promoting diversity and economic growth.
