As China's economy enters a "new normal," there are unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators. More female entrepreneurs are emerging in this new economy, but cultural norms and unequal opportunities continue to be barriers.
The Goldman Sachs Foundation and China Development Research Foundation, together with the AmCham China Women's Professional Committee and Small Business and Entrepreneurs Committee, invite you to an event celebrating the findings of a new report: "Women's Entrepreneurship in China: A New Opportunity for Growth."
The report, which was first released at the Annual China Development Forum at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, examines the impact of the "new normal" on the economy, barriers, challenges and opportunities for new gender roles. The report also includes case studies of graduates of Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women program. The report highlights the importance of developing an economic policy framework that not only supports female entrepreneurs, but also integrates a gender perspective. It also encourages more public-private partnerships that invest in women's entrepreneurship.
