Despite the dominant role women play in Australian retail, they continue to receive a shockingly disproportionate share of funding. In 2023, only 27% of startup founders were female and solely female-led founding teams secured only a minuscule 0.7% of all private startup funding. 

To honour this years International Women's Day theme, Accelerating Action, The Working Party, Global-e, Wayflyer, ShipStation and SEKO Logistics invite you to Beyond Boundaries: Navigating Retail Financing, Logistics and Expansion—a luncheon designed to equip women in retail leadership with actionable strategies for international expansion, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction.
