Industry insights
Read and digest relevant insight in the media and telco industry, including articles, thought leadership and videos.
-
Women as entrepreneurs in the UK - Closing the gaps
Female-led and equally-led employers numbered 550,000 in the UK in 2019, a 40% share of 1.4 million businesses. These are often sub-scale businesses requiring financial and digital skills to scale up.
Female-led businesses cluster in education, health, food and accommodation, the latter being highly exposed to the pandemic. The more protected and dynamic ICT sector has low female engagement, which higher levels of study of STEM subjects will remedy.
Consumers are embracing digital to live and work through the pandemic. Enterprises that are digital and digitally-enabled will survive and flourish, supported by initiatives from Google, Facebook and others. -

Looking back to the start of 2020, digital transformation dominated the agendas of leading UK businesses. The devastating impact of COVID-19 and the resulting lockdown has undoubtedly acted as a catalyst: speeding up consumers digital adoption and introducing new trends at a rate few could have predicted.
