HOW WE CONNECT: THE 10 PILLARS OF AFRICA’S GROWTH

OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN SHARPENED TO TEN CRITICAL INDUSTRIES THAT REPRESENT THE CORE OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION, INNOVATION, AND WHERE WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP IS POISED TO CREATE SEISMIC SHIFTS. PARTNERING WITH US MEANS ALIGNING YOUR BRAND WITH THE FUTURE OF THESE SECTORS.

finance
Entrepreneurship & Funding

The Entrepreneurship & Funding stage is a non-negotiable intervention for South Africa’s economic future. It directly tackles the most pernicious barrier to women’s economic empowerment. 

By providing masterclasses in scaling and creating direct pathways to capital, we are doing more than just hosting talks; we are actively writing cheques and building the balance sheets of women-owned businesses.

The stage is a critical engine room for transforming women’s economic participation from subsistence to scale. Its existence is a direct, tactical response to the most significant barrier stifling the growth of women-led businesses in South Africa: the profound and persistent funding gap. This stage moves beyond inspiration to deliver tangible tools and connections, recognizing that an idea without capital is merely a thought, and a business without funding cannot grow.

Empowering a woman with funding does not just launch a single venture; it triggers a virtuous cycle of job creation, community development, and national economic growth. This stage is the critical link between the immense potential of women entrepreneurs and the tangible capital required to unleash it, ensuring that the future of South African business is not only profitable but also powerfully inclusive.

property
Property & Urban Development 

Property & Urban Development is the foundational pillar for achieving intergenerational wealth, economic resilience, and transformative social influence for women in South Africa. 

The stage’s existence is driven by a powerful, emerging trend: women are the fastest-growing demographic in property ownership. This stage is designed to harness this momentum, moving women from being passive participants in the property market to becoming strategic investors, developers, and shapers of the urban fabric.

The Property & Urban Development stage is about more than owning a house. It is about leveraging a tangible asset to build intangible power—financial security, community influence, and a lasting legacy.

By equipping women with the capital, knowledge, and networks to excel in this sector, we are not just responding to a trend; we are actively constructing a more equitable and humane urban future. Empowering a woman in property does more than build her personal wealth; it enables her to shape the very communities she lives in, creating spaces that are not only profitable but also sustainable, safe, and inclusive for all. This is the path from being a buyer in the market to becoming a shaper of the skyline.

manufacturing
Wholesale, Retail & Manufacturing 

The Wholesale, Retail & Manufacturing stage is a direct investment in South Africa’s industrial sovereignty and economic resilience. By celebrating and strategically supporting women in these sectors, we are doing more than promoting individual businesses.

Its existence is a direct response to a critical paradox: while women are powerful consumers and dynamic informal traders, they remain significantly underrepresented in the ownership and leadership of the formal supply chains that feed the nation. This stage aims to move women from the periphery of the market to the commanding heights of production, distribution, and large-scale retail.

We are actively building a more inclusive, resilient, and self-sufficient economy. We are ensuring that the products on our shelves are increasingly made by our people, distributed by our enterprises, and inspired by our heritage. Empowering a woman in manufacturing doesn’t just create one job; it can create hundreds. Empowering a woman in wholesale transforms her from a participant in the supply chain to a commander of it, shaping what we buy, how we buy it, and whose prosperity is built in the process. This is the path to a product economy that is truly by us, for us, and led by the vision of our women.

cam
Communications, Advertising, Marketing and Media 

The Communications, Advertising, Marketing and Media stage is about orchestrating a fundamental power shift. It recognizes that in a knowledge and attention economy, influence is a primary form of capital.

(CAMM) is a critical intervention in the landscape of cultural and economic influence. Its existence is predicated on a fundamental market truth: while women control the vast majority of consumer spending and are the primary audience for most advertising, they remain drastically underrepresented in the boardrooms where brand narratives are created and in the ownership structures of the media channels that disseminate them. This stage is dedicated to closing this “influence gap,” ensuring women are not just the target of marketing, but the architects of it.

By equipping women to shape narratives, build iconic stories, and own media equity, we are ensuring they control the very lens through which society—and the market—views them. This transforms them from being the subject of the conversation to the host of it. Empowering a woman in this sector doesn’t just change an ad campaign; it changes culture. It ensures that the stories told about Africa, about women, and about progress are authentic, powerful, and ultimately, owned by those who know them best

agri
Beauty, Fashion, Health & Wellness

The EmpowaWomen Annual Summit establishes the Beauty, Fashion, Health & Wellness (BFHW) stage as a dedicated platform for one of the most dynamic and female-driven economic sectors. Its existence is a strategic recognition of a simple truth: this industry is not frivolous; it is a powerhouse of cultural expression, economic activity, and personal empowerment.

This stage is designed to transform women’s innate participation as consumers and creators into strategic leadership and scalable, innovative enterprise, while championing holistic wellbeing as a non-negotiable component of sustained success.

The Beauty, Fashion, Health & Wellness stage looks, feels, and operates differently. It recognizes that the industries which most intimately touch women’s lives should be led by them.

By focusing on scalability, innovation, and holistic wellbeing, we are not just creating successful business owners; we are cultivating leaders who will build ethical, sustainable, and empowering enterprises. This stage ensures that the products we use, the clothes we wear, and the wellness practices we adopt are shaped by women who understand that true beauty and health are not just markets to be captured, but foundations for a powerful and purposeful life.

leadership
LEADERSHIP, GOVERNANCE & BOARDS

Globally, women occupy less than 25% of board seats and far fewer hold chairperson or CEO positions. On the African continent, representation on listed company boards across major stock exchanges remains disproportionately low, despite mounting pressure from investors, regulators, and ESG frameworks. Yet the data is undeniable: companies with women in executive leadership consistently outperform on profitability, innovation, and long-term value creation.

This stage exists to equip women with the tools to ascend to boardrooms and c-suites, shaping ethical corporate culture and driving strategic oversight for inclusive growth.

tech
Digital Technology, AI & the Creative Economy 

The Digital Technology, AI & the Creative Economy stage exists not as a trend, but as a critical, non-negotiable intervention for South Africa’s economic future. Its existence is a direct response to a pressing national challenge and a unique opportunity to harness the full potential of women as architects of the country’s digital destiny.

The statistic that only 23% of technology jobs in South Africa are held by women is more than just a number; it is a symptom of a systemic failure that, if left unaddressed, will lead to a future of deepened inequality and stunted economic growth. This stage is designed as a catalyst to dismantle these barriers and actively equip women to lead, not just participate;

What This Stage Aims to Equip Women With:

  • Future-Proofed Skills
  • An Entrepreneurial Mindset
  • Leadership and Confidence
  • Fire-side chats with leading South African women in tech and critical awareness of the tech landscape.
agri
Agriculture and Food Security

The Agriculture and Food Security stage is a strategic investment in South Africa’s stability and prosperity. By empowering women—the primary caregivers and food providers—we are directly attacking hunger and poverty at its root. More than that, we are unlocking a massive engine of economic growth.

By deliberately positioning women at the forefront of the Just Energy Transition and the critical minerals value chain, we are not merely promoting equality. We are injecting the sectors with the innovation, resilience, and community-centric leadership required to succeed in the 21st century. This stage is about empowering women to become the engineers of a new energy system, the architects of sustainable mining, and the business leaders who will ensure South Africa’s natural wealth translates into shared and sustainable prosperity for all

green
Green Economy & Climate Innovation 

The Green Economy & Climate Innovation stage exists as a critical response to the defining dual challenge of the 21st century: achieving economic prosperity while averting ecological collapse. Its existence is predicated on the undeniable truth that the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future is the single greatest economic opportunity of our time, and that excluding women from leading this transition is not only unjust but also a recipe for ineffective and inequitable outcomes.

The data and policy landscape in South Africa create a non-negotiable case for a just transition, with women at its heart.
South Africa is ranked highly vulnerable to climate impacts, experiencing intensifying droughts (as witnessed in the Cape Town “Day Zero” crisis), devastating floods (like those in KwaZulu-Natal), and heatwaves. These events disproportionately affect women, who are often primary caregivers and responsible for water and food security at the household level, making them key agents in building community resilience.
By equipping women with the capital, skills, and networks to lead in this space, we are not merely including them in a trend. We are leveraging their unique perspectives to build more resilient communities, create sustainable jobs, and develop innovative solutions that address South Africa’s most pressing challenges. Empowering women in the green economy is the most direct route to achieving a future that is both prosperous and sustainable for all.

transport
Mining & Energy

The Mining & Energy Stage is a strategic intervention at the very core of South Africa’s industrial and socio-economic future. Its existence is driven by the urgent need to ensure that the nation’s most critical, yet traditionally male-dominated and often exclusionary, sectors are reshaped by the inclusion and leadership of women. This stage is not about asking for a seat at the existing table; it is about building a new, more resilient, and equitable table altogether, in direct alignment with national imperatives.

With over $3 trillion in global infrastructure and mobility investments projected by 2030, Africa’s competitive edge lies not in catching up but in leading with intention, innovation, and inclusion. This stage is the engine room for women who are not just in the room they’re designing the blueprint.
From green logistics and AI-driven supply chains to next-gen transport corridors and gender-responsive cities, this is where Africa’s physical systems collide with fierce, female-led strategy. We’re not debating women’s place in infrastructure anymore. We’re fast-tracking their dominance across it. One corridor. One city. One economy at a time.

WHY IT MATTERS. THIS ISN’T JUST A SUMMIT.
IT’S A POWER SHIFT IN MOTION.
