Where in the world do women entrepreneurs have the best shot at prospering?
In the United States, Australia, Sweden, France and Germany, according to the second annual Gender-GEDI ranking commissioned by Dell.
The global study of 30 developing and developed economies evaluated and scored each country on business and gender-specific issues, and how they impact the growth of “high potential” businesswomen.
“High potential” women entrepreneurs aren’t just starting a business for themselves but are adding jobs, expanding into new markets and even looking for export opportunities, said Gender-GEDI project director Ruta Aidis.
“We’re analyzing this group because the study is focused on quality and not quantity of female entrepreneurs,” she said.
