The Fund is a $20 million investment providing up to $100,000 in non-repayable contribution funding for 12 months.
The Women Entrepreneurship Fund will fund women-owned and women-led businesses to invest in activities that focus on:
Supporting pursuit of market opportunities abroad (e.g. international marketing strategy, supply chain integration, promotions, business advisory services, online presence/website development)
Supporting Scale-up, Expansion and Growth (e.g. product/service development and improvement, inventory management, value stream mapping, upgrades to plant and equipment, process and technology improvements
