Mark your calendars for the 17th - 23rd November 2014 because Enterprising Women are getting involved and we want you to be part of it. We have got plenty in store, from networking events across the UK to digital marketing workshops - there is something for every enterprising woman.

We are happy to announce that we are partnering with the First Women Summit, a new and exciting project started by Real Business. This inaugural, full day summit will leverage ten years of the First Women movement, drawing on the phenomenal network of pioneering women the First Women Awards has created to educate, mentor and inspire.

The Centre will act as a platform for research and engagement with social innovators, academia and policy in UK and across the world, and its primary focus will be to understand, promote, and engage with social innovators and create and support social ventures and projects.
