At a time of economic uncertainty, rapid digital transformation and shifting workforce dynamics, small businesses and entrepreneurs are central to Europe’s growth, competitiveness and job creation. Women‑led enterprises remain a significantly underleveraged engine of economic resilience, while young entrepreneurs (Gen Z) are emerging as a defining force shaping Europe’s future economic and digital landscape.
This breakfast discussion will examine how women‑led and young entrepreneurship can drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth across Europe, with a focus on the practical enablers that help businesses start, scale and operate across borders. The conversation will centre on access to finance, digital payments and digital tools as critical infrastructure for participation in today’s economy.
Bringing together business leaders, policymakers and key stakeholders, the discussion will explore what works in practice – drawing on real‑world entrepreneurial journeys and public‑private partnerships to highlight scalable solutions that strengthen local economies, support job creation and reinforce long‑term economic resilience.
This event is by invitation only.
