Africa's Largest Startup Campus
Powering The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

The Western Cape Regional Roundtable on Women’s Economic Inclusion brings together leaders from government, business, academia, civil society and development institutions to explore the realities, challenges and opportunities shaping women’s economic participation and advancement in the province.

 

As the first in WENOSA’s Regional Roundtable series, the discussion will focus on translating transformation commitments into meaningful outcomes, examining progress made, persistent barriers, and practical approaches to strengthening women’s representation, leadership and economic inclusion.

Discussion Areas:

  • Progress and enabling conditions for women’s economic inclusion
  • Implementation of transformation and empowerment frameworks
  • Persistent participation and representation gaps
  • Transferable lessons and practices for broader impact

 

The Roundtable aims to foster collaborative dialogue, share implementation insights, and contribute to a growing cross-regional evidence base on advancing women’s economic inclusion in South Africa.

The Startup Huddle event provides a platform for entrepreneurs to discover solutions to the challenges they face through purposeful engagement with a broad array of voices from the local community, who can also share their experiences.

 

Startups are given context about the topic at hand, which includes tools, tricks and techniques from experts. This can take up to 10min. Thereafter, they will be given 2-3 minutes to tell us about some of the challenges they have encountered in their business venture. Participants then get into small groups where they Huddle for a 10-minute -interactive activity. Each group selects a team member or two to share what they discussed. The Huddle will close off having equipped the techies with practical and value-add experience they can use in their startup journey.
