WE Rise: Impact Showcase

WE Rise Impact Showcase is the culmination of our flagship accelerator program, WE Rise, a first of its kind accelerator designed exclusively for women entrepreneurs in the Philippines. The first WE Rise cohort is a dynamic mix of 20 fantastic Filipina women entrepreneurs from sectors such as agriculture, retail, technology, personal care, services, and construction. The accelerator began in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 with focus on access to finance and to help close the gender finance gap. Over the course of the program, the cohort has had the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of Villgro’s customized mentorship program, our focused learning sessions, technical assistance, and much more. Through 2020-21 we have had the privilege of working with some of the most promising women entrepreneurs of our times in WE Rise.

This August, WE Rise Impact Showcase will celebrate the women, their companies, and their resilience despite the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic. Over the course of two days, WE Rise Impact Showcase will feature a host of discussions with eminent speakers from across the world, investors, market partners, and business leaders who will offer their take on issues faced by women entrepreneurs and how we can build a better ecosystem to help them flourish. We look forward to meaningful conversations, radical collaborations, and great opportunities for women entrepreneurs at the event.

Villgro Philippines and the European Union-funded WeEmpowerAsia programme of UN Women Philippines is delighted to invite you to come witness the unlocked potential of our WE Rise cohort of 20 exceptional women entrepreneurs in the Philippines.
