WERise Network announces 2026 annual programme to celebrate growth and scale women-owned businesses
WERise Network has announced its 2026 Annual Programme, a week-long series of activities designed to celebrate the achievements of women entrepreneurs, strengthen business capacity, and create greater visibility and market opportunities for women-owned enterprises.
The WERise Network has unveiled its 2026 annual programme, a series of events spanning a week from September 28 to October 4, aimed at honoring the accomplishments of women entrepreneurs. The programme, themed "Rise & Scale: Celebrating Growth, Building Revenue, and Creating Jobs," underscores the pivotal role women entrepreneurs play in Ghana's economic growth through business expansion, revenue generation, job creation, innovation, and community impact.
The 2026 programme will gather women entrepreneurs, business leaders, development partners, policymakers, investors, customers, and various stakeholders for a week of education, networking, business promotion, and collaboration. It will feature an Annual General Meeting, Regional Fora, business exhibitions, and practical masterclasses.
These sessions will equip small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with essential knowledge, practical tools, and connections to enhance their operations, boost revenue, access new markets, and achieve long-term growth.
A notable highlight of the programme will be a multi-day exhibition enabling WERise members to exhibit their businesses, products, and services to the public. This exhibition will also facilitate direct interaction between women-owned businesses and potential customers, partners, and other market stakeholders. The 2026 Annual Programme is being organized in collaboration with the Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), the Mastercard Foundation, CalBank, YFM, and Afrosphere.
This partnership aims to provide women entrepreneurs with opportunities to learn, connect, promote their businesses, and explore new avenues for enterprise growth and expansion. WERise Network urges the public, businesses, development partners, media organizations, and other stakeholders to follow its official platforms for updates, programme specifics, and participation opportunities.
Established in Ghana, WERise Network supports women entrepreneurs through mentorship, training, networking, business development, and facilitating market and financial access. The network unites women business owners, professionals, mentors, and partners to champion women's leadership and aid women-led businesses in scaling up.
