About the event
On International Women’s Day, the UK Government published the Rose Review, a report on the barriers to women starting and growing their business.
Key findings include:
• Currently 1p in every £1 of VC funding goes to female led businesses
• Women make up 33% of entrepreneurs in the UK
• Achieving parity in start up rates could generate an additional £250bn to the UK economy
• Networks cannot be under estimated
In partnership with Women Enterprise Scotland (WES), the Royal Bank of Scotland are pleased to be hosting this Scotland Female Investment Day in Edinburgh on the 27th November.
Our event aims to address and break down some of the barriers Female Entrepreneurs face including: securing various types of funding; leveraging role models & maximising networking.
The event is free to attend.
Through a mixture of panel discussions, networking and workshops, we’ll bring together female entrepreneurs, investors and funders. The ultimate aim for the day is for attendees to leave feeling inspired, informed and educated, with new connections in their network.
Tickets are on a first come, first served basis and are limited.
Audience: Female Entrepreneurs who are starting or growing their business and investors/ funders.
Date: 27th November
Time: 09.00am for 10.00 am start to 16.30pm to 18.30pm for networking with drinks & canapes.
