Brics Women’s Business Alliance urges supply chain access and scale for women-led entrepreneurship
The Brics Women’s Business Alliance has urged member states to integrate women entrepreneurs into global supply chains and expand access to capital, digital tools, and investor networks.
The Brics Women’s Business Alliance has urged member states to expand supply chains and support women-led businesses, presenting a policy roadmap at the Brics Leadership Summit in New Delhi. The alliance outlined four key priorities: procurement access, corporate value chains, care economy infrastructure, and workforce leadership.
Chairperson Avarna Jain emphasized that women must not only be users of resources but also creators, innovators, and leaders in business. The alliance stressed the importance of opening supply chains, scaling women-led enterprises, and leveraging digital tools such as the Unified Payments Interface to enhance financial inclusion.
Jain highlighted that women’s economic empowerment is essential for overall economic growth and must be viewed as a core economic strategy, rather than a separate sectoral issue. The alliance presented recommendations including scaling successful cross-border programs, strengthening digital healthcare, climate-smart agriculture, and protecting intellectual property.
They also noted the significant contributions of women entrepreneurs in healthcare, agriculture, food security, tourism, and the creative economy across Brics nations.
