A global initiative — now brought to Cambodia! — empowering women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, networks, and resources to launch and scale successful businesses
About the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE)
The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) is an initiative from the United States government to support and empower women entrepreneurs around the world. Impact Hub Phnom Penh is thrilled to help implement this program in Cambodia for the first time ever this year!
Through AWE, women have access to an online learning platform, mentorship, peer community, and partnership opportunities with businesses in the region and in the United States. As graduates, they will join AWE alumni from over 80 countries and gain access to additional exchange, funding, and public-private partnerships available to them as members of the U.S. Exchange Alumni network.
