We have been long and vocal advocates of building a diverse economy; one constructed on a foundation of vibrant SMEs led by, and employing, as diverse a

cross-section of the public as possible.

As a community, we must continue to do more to encourage the spirit of entrepreneurism in young people across the country, to help create the next

generation of British founders and business leaders.

I am delighted that we now have the ability to identify and track the growth of female led businesses as a result of the UK government’s open data policy.

This report confirms that women-led business leadership contributes immensely to growth and innovation right across the UK and I commend these women and their

organisations for making a significant impact on our economy.Baroness Shields, Minister for Internet Safety and Security

I am encouraged to see women in leadership positions all across the UK.

If we are to ensure economic growth, Women, no matter where they live, must have the opportunity to take on senior roles. Job creation is not and must not be limited to London.

We need to drive productivity right across the UK.

We are delighted to celebrate these women who are making a major contribution to UK economic growth. I hope by literally, putting them on the map they will find it easier to

find the talent to hire to fill all those orders their customers are placing with them.

I set up Founders4Schools to inspire young people to consider starting their own businesses. The fact that we now have 762 examples available to inspire the next

generation of girls about the impact they can also have on the world is very exciting.

Whilst the data shows the tech sector accounts for (67 %) women-led businesses in the UK, there is so much more to be done.

If the UK is to leapfrog every other nation on this planet to become the most digital, most connected, most skilled and most informed on the planet - we urgently need to

address the gender imbalance within the tech sector and ensure that our leaders, investors and entrepreneurs come from the widest pool of home-grown talent.

This amazing new open data from Founders4schools will support those brilliant women who are helping drive the UK economy and will enable us to foster the

maximum breadth and depth of digital talent that the UK has to offer.
