Celebrating businesses creating more and better opportunities for women
Often, the business models that create economic opportunities for women through jobs, products, services, supply chains and access to finance remain overlooked, underfunded and under-supported.
Many are operating in sectors that are critical to the future, from climate and agriculture to financial services and care.
The Inclusive Action Hub exists to help make that possible.
We support the businesses creating opportunities for women to become:
more visible
credible
connected
We do this by helping funders, investors and ecosystem partners better understand where inclusive innovation is happening and what these businesses need to grow.
Supporting these organisations to grow creates positive impacts for women: stronger livelihoods, income opportunities, market access and more inclusive pathways to economic participation.
Inclusive Action Awards
The Inclusive Action Awards surface, celebrate, and connect businesses that create meaningful economic opportunities for women.
Our inaugural 2025 Awards were supported by Visa Foundation and engaged ecosystem partners including BII, Acumen, and 2X Global with 1,200+ applications from businesses employing 12,000+ people and serving 2m+ customers.
