The journey began in February this year when Microsoft SA launched the programme in association with Business Engage (previously Women in Finance). We invited qualifying female entrepreneurs to submit a motivation as to why they believed their business is ready for growth. Those who qualified, participated in a one day Action My Business Growth Workshop where it was determined whether they would qualify for the second phase of the programme which is a five day Expand Your Business Programme.
It was pleasing to see that 11 female entrepreneurs qualified and undertook the one week workshop from 28 May - 1 June.
The Graduation ceremony will celebrate their achievement and give attendees the opportunity to hear about how their businesses will be taken to the next level.
