The conference, held in Lagos, identified gaps in business support systems, access to capital, collaboration, and enterprise development as key constraints to the growth of women-led businesses on the continent. Speakers called for greater investment in African people and businesses, emphasizing the need for improved access to capital, collaboration, and bold growth strategies to translate Africa's resources and youthful population into shared prosperity.",
