The National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) is pleased to release the first portion of an ongoing research project on women’s entrepreneurship in high-yield and high-growth industries. The report, “An Illuminating Moment: Lighting a Pathway for Women Entrepreneurs” was created by KEEE, Inc. and includes a detailed literature review, data analysis, collection of policy recommendations and compilation of key resources, all focused on understanding how women entrepreneurs find success and encounter struggles in STEM and STEM-adjacent fields. The second portion of this research will be released later in 2024.
