Tonight Prowess are officially launching the new Prowess National Policy Centre (PNPC) at Downing Street. The launch follows a visit by their international study group to east London in the morning, when I’ll be presenting to the group. You can download a copy of the slides from my presentation here.
We’ve known Prowess since its conception and have watched and supported its rapid growth with admiration . Erika Watson and her team, including Jackie Brierton, who will run the new PNPC, have done a terrific job of putting women’s enterprise at the heart of the government’s enterprise agenda.
The new PNPC will provide a dedicated resource to make the economic case for the development of women’s enterprise across government and the private and third sectors and will provide a central repository for research and data related to women’s enterprise. The PNPC is funded by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and was referred to in the government’s enterprise strategy of March 2008. Prowess continues its critical and independent role as a membership and advocacy association greatly enhanced by information and research from PNPC.
