Pink Shoe, together with the Enterprise Research Centre
(ERC), organised the third International Female Quotient Forum (#FQ3) at The
Shard in central London on Wednesday 26 October 2016.
This well attended event
provided the ideal forum to advance the discussion for opportunities for
women-owned businesses (WBs) in a complex and post-Brexit economy with
representatives from the City, corporate, public sector and professional
industries.
The key conversation during #FQ3 was focused on how to harness female talent to drive economic growth, reinforcing Prime Minister Theresa May’s vision on the contribution of women-owned businesses in the UK today. Facts such as “only 20% of SMEs are WBs” from a UK population where “51% is female” set the scene for the forum agenda.
