HSBC Women's Business Growth Initiative

Helping women achieve their full potential

We know businesses led by women play a vital role in the UK economy, driving growth, inspiring innovation and creating jobs.

We’ve created a dedicated initiative for women business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, which is free to join and open to all, offering events, networking, masterclasses and personalised funding support.

Our community of like-minded women

As a founder in the tech industry and on behalf of UtterBerry, I would like to convey my heartfelt appreciation for the fantastic event. I truly value HSBC's commitment to supporting female founders and tackling the challenges we face.
