Greater Return On Women’s Enterprise
The Women's Enterprise Task Force submitted its draft Greater Return on Women's Enterprise (GROWE) report to Government in July 2009. Following consultation over the summer, the Task Force is now producing the final version, which will be officially launched on Women's Enterprise Day, 18 November 2009, at the WETF's final event.

Women's enterprise can create jobs, wealth, and GVA, and can save the public purse by reducing the rising costs of recession and unemployment – but only with the right support. For example, the enterprise gap between Britain and the United States could be largely closed if women were involved in enterprise to their full potential.
Using both the available evidence base and the wide-ranging expertise of our members, the Task Force has formulated several recommendations which, if taken forward, would support women’s enterprise to play a greater role in the UK’s economic recovery.
The recommendations of the draft GROWE report focus around strategic ways of improving existing support structures to increase the quantity, success and sustainability of women’s enterprise. More needs to be done to assist women to increase their contribution to GVA through developing and growing their businesses.
