Women and Enterprise APPG

First Registered: 29/09/2015 • Last updated on: 20/11/2024

The APPG provides a unique and dynamic forum for MPs and Peers of all parties to work collectively to explore the challenges and opportunities for female entrepreneurs, ensure they are considered in the political arena and make sure steps are taken to boost female entrepreneurship in the UK.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
