Women's Entrepreneurship Hub - Solutions Clinic

This interactive Solutions Clinic will explore how stronger data collection, analysis, and use can improve financing outcomes for women-owned and women-led SMEs. Participants will examine how financial institutions can move beyond basic reporting and sex-disaggregated data toward actionable insights that inform product design, risk management, customer engagement, and impact measurement.

Through practitioner-led problem solving the session will address challenges such as data availability, quality, privacy, and the gap between data collection and decision-making.

Participants will also explore how entrepreneurs can leverage digital footprints to strengthen access to finance and develop practical solutions to advance women’s financial inclusion.
