Empowering Women. Building Africa.
Creating Access and Driving Visibility — Catalyzing Success for African Women Entrepreneurs. Join Our NetworkAfrican Business Stories (ABS) is a high-impact platform committed to accelerating the growth of women-led businesses across Africa. We amplify voices and ventures through strategic storytelling and open pathways to opportunity through programs, partnerships, and market linkages.
Africa has the highest rate of female entrepreneurship globally — with women making up nearly 60% of the continent’s self-employed population — yet they remain underrepresented in investment deals, strategic networks, and policy spaces. ABS exists to close that gap. We ensure African women entrepreneurs are not only seen, but also equipped and connected to lead the continent’s economic transformation.
