Information - Empower Us: Women-led Business Community

Purpose: ‘Of the People, For the People’

Our purpose is to create an inclusive, supportive, and empowering community for entrepreneurs and business professionals. We aim to bridge gaps in resources, skills, and opportunities, fostering an environment where people can thrive, challenge the status quo, and achieve their full potential.

It aims to connect university users to the wider community (and visa-versa) in terms of business support, knowledge exchange, work collaborations, training and education, experience sharing and network building.

Mission:

Our mission is to build a vibrant, inclusive network that provides business owners, entrepreneurs, community groups and students with the tools, resources, and support needed to succeed in business. We are a women-led community dedicated to offering a safe space for knowledge exchange, mentorship, and skill development for all, while addressing unique challenges faced by women in business. Through innovative initiatives, collaborative partnerships, and continuous growth opportunities, we strive to create a community that celebrates diversity, promotes equity, and drives success for all its members.
