Here are some of the emerging women-fronted companies that have come out of Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide's accelerator programme this year
There are few places in the world that don’t reduce women to the backseat to some degree, which is simultaneously frustrating and inefficient considering what we’re all capable of, regardless of gender, if given a chance.
In 2015, Anna Wong and Inès Gafsi co-founded Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide (FEW), one of Asia's largest business platforms for female founders and business executives for women to learn, network and raise capital.

Over the past few years, FEW has incubated more than 20 high-growth tech companies led by women.
Here are the 2022 winning companies with women at the helm.
