"The serious problems facing the world today will never be solved until women are able to use their full potential on behalf of themselves, their families, and their global and local communities." ~ Jenny Shipley (1952- ), New Zealand's first female Prime Minister (1997-99). February 6 is Waitangi Day in New Zealand.
 
As our name implies, Womenable is focused on one thing: enabling women.

Womenable is a research, program and policy development consultancy whose mission is to improve the environment for women-owned businesses worldwide. More specifically, we:

  • conduct insightful and actionable research,

  • communicate information and insights in a clear, concise, and thought-provoking manner, and

  • work with the stewards of women's entrepreneurship around the world – policy makers, multi-lateral organizations, corporate decision makers, entrepreneurial support organizations, and the women's business community – to implement, evaluate and improve policies and programs to support women's enterprise development.


In other words, we raise the tide that will lift all women-owned boats, and work to provide smooth sailing and a strong tailwind for their growth and development.

Our web site not only contains information about Womenable's projects, partnerships and publications, but about what is happening all around the world in the field of women’s enterprise development.

Thank you for visiting our site, and for your interest in how Womenable is working to educate, enlighten and empower women’s entrepreneurship worldwide.
