New research has identified Belfast as the 34th top city in the world for women entrepreneurs to do more, scale their businesses faster and thrive.
First launched in 2016, the Dell Technologies WE Cities Index measures and ranks cities around the world based on their ability to attract and support high-potential women entrepreneurs.
The index:
showcases how technology connects all other aspects of the business environment (markets, capital, talent and culture)
provides recommendations for business owners and officials alike to improve systems from the inside out, and
profiles global centres of commerce by their overall suitability for women who scale
