Virtual Session: Addressing Gender Bias in Entrepreneurship (Women Only)

This event hosted by Amal Unite & Empower in collaboration with NLOWE aims to spark critical conversations about the systemic barriers immigrant and newcomer women entrepreneurs face. Women entrepreneurs, particularly those from immigrant and newcomer backgrounds, face systemic challenges such as limited access to funding, lack of mentorship, and entrenched stereotypes. Our goal is to foster dialogue, share insights, and explore strategies that can help create a more equitable business environment.

By shedding light on the biases ingrained in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we hope to foster a more inclusive and supportive business environment in Newfoundland and Labrador.

• The session will focus on real experiences, research-backed insights, and actionable solutions to overcoming gender bias.

• We’ll explore systemic barriers affecting immigrant and newcomer women’s business growth and discuss policies and support systems that can help.
• This event is part of the broader NLOWE Gender Bias Project, which aims to address gender bias and foster growth opportunities for women entrepreneurs in NL.
