On the heels of the 9th Annual Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Summit (DWEN), please join Dell, industry, and civic leaders for an interactive PolicyHack to develop solutions on ways Sydney can continue to attract high-potential women entrepreneurs.

While women are starting businesses twice as fast as men, they have a disproportionally high failure rate. Understanding that women still struggle to access capital, networks and resources they need to scale, Dell has been investing in research to better understand the obstacles standing in women’s way of not just starting a business, but growing it. In 2016 and 2017, our research drilled down to the city level to assess the impact of local policies and national laws and customs. In 2018, we commissioned blueprints for 10 cities to arm city leaders and policymakers with the data and insights they need to make it better for high-potential women entrepreneurs.

Sydney ranked 11th on the 2017 WE Cities Index, and our 2018 research shows that Sydney leaders and influencers could drive further opportunities by focusing on policies that promote access to capital and work/life balance and foster female talent.
