Women’s Business Summit Celebrates Successes
MARCH 20, 2024
When the Greenwood Women’s Business Center opened two years ago, it promised to provide women in Tulsa – particularly Black women and other women of color – a hand in launching and growing their businesses. Last week, at its second anniversary gathering, the InnovateHER Summit, the Center gave the two hundred attendees a couple of big things to celebrate.
The first was the remarkable growth of women-owned businesses nationally, particularly over the past four years.
From 2019 to 2023, women-owned businesses’ growth rate outpaced the rate of men’s 94.3% for number of firms, 252.8% for employment, and 82.0% for revenue, according to the 2024 Wells Fargo Impact of Women-owned Businesses Report.
