ACCESS Is Live: Women-Owned Tech Businesses - Your way in for procurement

​On 9 November, ACCESS launched at the B20 USA Summit in Washington, D.C. Now it’s your turn.

​ACCESS is a new programme developed by The Female Quotient with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SaaSNova to support the growth and promotion of women-owned technology businesses. Selected companies receive introductory training on using AWS Marketplace to promote their IT products and services to a global audience.

​Globally, one-third of registered SMEs are estimated to have been created by women, yet large corporations and governments spend less than 1% of their procurement budgets on women-owned and women-led SMEs (IFC). ACCESS is one practical way to change that, and the founders who move now will be the ones in the pipeline.

​In 30 minutes, you’ll:
• Hear what happened at the Washington launch
• Find out what ACCESS offers and who it’s for
• Learn how to apply, or nominate a founder you know, before the second intake closes

​Who should join: founders of women-owned technology businesses (at least 51% women-owned) in AI, SaaS, cloud, cybersecurity, fintech, health tech, climate tech, digital transformation and enterprise technology. Accelerators, investors and founder networks are welcome too.

​⏳ The second intake closes 30 November. Apply or nominate in about 3 minutes: [link]

​Hosted by Ahead, working with The Female Quotient to bring women-owned tech businesses from India and the Global South into ACCESS. The session will be recorded.
