FEMALE FOUNDER OR BUSINESS OWNER?
DAMN RIGHT.


Increase your business revenue and improve efficiency.

Join us, 1-2 October 2025 at the 5th edition of Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo.

The pandemic saw the rise of the entrepreneur. But in what way do businesses need to adapt to thrive in this post-pandemic life? And for those in the UK, a post-Brexit future?

In the HM Treasury’s 2019 “Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship”, they shared that up to £250 billion of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled new businesses at the same rate as UK men. Imagine having the resources and knowledge to grow your business, so you generate more revenue and are seen as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) you are?

  • There was a huge buzz in the aisles and the theatres were packed out. When I first saw the line-up of fantastic speakers and sponsors, I knew I had to be involved. They’re working hard to inspire and empower their female workforce, and it’s just so inspiring to be a part of.

    Sara Davies MBE, Founder of Crafter's Companion & Investor on BBC Dragon's Den

  • A brilliant 2 days, so well organised a great line up. I thought I would miss seeing people in person, but actually I met lots of new people and was able to network. A great mix of speakers, exhibitors and attendees.
