Female entrepreneurs in the creative industries and the advanced manufacturing sectors are invited to apply to the Women’s International Network (WIN) Programme to access help to grow their businesses and realise their export potential.

The Department for Business and Trade launched the programme last year in response to research that showed that less female-owned and led businesses export than male-led ones. If women scaled businesses at the same rate as men, up to £250bn of new value could be added to the UK economy.

The deadline for to apply for the next edition of the programme is 30 November 2024.

The WIN Programme is free to join, with in-person activity expected to be held locally between January and May 2025, including an optional trade mission to Europe. Flights, accommodation and subsistence for the trade mission are not included, although discounted flight and accommodation rates may be available.  

If you have any questions or need further information, contact Bev or Emma in the WIN Team at WIN@businessandtrade.gov.uk.
