The panel discussion will be followed by a tour of 6888 Kitchen Incubator, a state-of-the-art shared commercial kitchen space designed to help new food entrepreneurs launch and grow their culinary business.

According to the Wells Fargo 2024 Impact of Women-Owned Businesses report, women-owned businesses make significant contributions to the economy. In 2023, 14 million women-owned businesses employ 12.2 million people and generate $2.7 trillion in revenue. However, women continue to face hurdles such as access to capital and affordable childcare. 

Join the conversation as we navigate these challenges and highlight the incredible strides of our local female entrepreneurs.
