The Canada-Indonesia Trade and Private Sector Assistance (TPSA) Project and ANGIN are proud to launch its latest report, titled “Overview of Women Entrepreneurs in Indonesia and Canada: Focus on SMEs and Start-Ups”. The report is a product of ANGIN Principal Valencia Dea, which was sponsored by the TPSA at The Conference Board of Canada (CBOC) in Ottawa from March to May 2018.
The study examines the state of women’s entrepreneurship in Canada and Indonesia. Canada was selected as the country of comparison because of its extensive and varied programs that support and promote women entrepreneurs, which are o ered by governments, the private sector, and the academic community. The 2018 MasterCard Index of Women Entrepreneurs (MIWE) ranked Canada seventh out of 57 countries on the conditions that support women entrepreneurs. Indonesia, by comparison, ranked 30th. The report compares the entrepreneurial landscape for women in Indonesia and Canada by examining the characteristics and challenges of women entrepreneurs, existing government policies and programs, and initiatives by other ecosystem players.
It is hoped that the report can provide relevant stakeholders in Indonesia’s entrepreneurship ecosystem with ideas and recommendations about existing Canadian policies and programs that may be relevant and applicable in Indonesia to promote and support women’s entrepreneurship.
