Entrepreneurship allows women to break free from societal expectations and pursue their passions, regardless of societal norms. Ultimately, fostering an inclusive and supportive ecosystem for women-led startups benefits not only the entrepreneurs themselves but also the broader economy and society.
By embracing the startup mindset, women can defy limitations, prove their capabilities, and inspire others to do the same. Kudos to START by VT and Female Founders in Malaysia & Southeast Asia (FFMYSEA) for their initiative! We hope everyone who attended the “Women Led Startups: Opportunities and Trends” at our offices in Ilham Tower benefitted from the event and the resources available.
