NWBC is excited to unveil our latest research report Engineering Change: The Blueprint for Strengthening Women’s STEM Entrepreneurship. In the STEM field, women are underrepresented and consistently face challenges when starting and while owning their businesses in these sectors. Government intervention such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act sought to expand opportunities in disadvantaged communities through large investments in manufacturing, clean energy, and infrastructure projects.

We performed this report to further our understanding of female entrepreneurship in high-yield and high-growth industries. The findings in this report suggest that federal policy could positively impact women STEM entrepreneurship.
