Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED)
launched November 19, 2014 at the United Nations
headquarters in New York during Global Entrepreneurship Week
www.gew.co and in
partnership with the U.S. State Department and 153 countries
and their ambassadors worldwide.
WED was not only one day to “Empower, Support and Celebrate
Women Entrepreneurs Worldwide,” but it’s main objective is
to be a strong leader in women’s entrepreneurship annually
from 2014 and beyond, implementing a number of key
initiatives designed to support women worldwide and help
them with their businesses all year long. Some of these
initiatives explained were:
-
Certified
Women in Business (CWB) bank certification program with
a leading banking sponsor to
identify and support women-owned or women-led businesses
throughout the year.
-
WOW (#WomenWOW) which stands for Women on Wednesday
launching the first Wednesday after
Thanksgiving to drive millions to women’s businesses
just like Small Business Saturday or Cyber Monday.
-
The WOW Pledge to support a woman entrepreneur with a
vote of Time, Talent or Treasure.
-
The worldwide ambassador program across 153 countries to
bring WED and WOW global.
-
A micro-loans program with a leading banking sponsor for
10 grants of $10,000 each to women
and their businesses in the developing world.
Through these initiatives and the November 19th WED event,
WED emerged as an empowering and inspiring force that
supports women in business while also mobilizing a massive
network of female business owners, entrepreneurs,
change-makers, and members of the “action class,” who then
will rise as future ambassadors of our partner brands.
To kick off this exciting movement and its launch event were
top female leaders, CEOs, celebrities, media personalities,
change-makers and entrepreneurs who are gathering on
November 19th, 2014. Panel, presenting and keynote speakers
were internationally-known, inspirational leaders
representing a number of industries . Event attendees were
invite-only, a curation of today’s and tomorrow’s great
business leaders. |
