The Center for Women's Business Research is the premier source of knowledge about women business owners and their enterprises worldwide.

Since 1989, the Center has documented the economic and social contributions of women business owners and challenged the perceptions of this expanding economic force.

The Center for Women's Business Research team conducts high-visibility research projects on landmark topics. Policymakers, private and public sector leaders, and women business advocates, and women business owners use our knowledge to expand entrepreneurial opportunities for women worldwide. The Center's research is used to:

• reinforce a women business owner’s case when seeking public and private sector support, commercial financing, and lucrative corporate and government contracts



• provide the rationale for developing new programs and outreach strategies



• generate visibility for women business owners and the corporations and organizations that support them



• add depth to academic and training courses on entrepreneurship.
