WISE Women's Business Center
An entrepreneurship project of the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University.
More women than ever are trying out the idea of self-employment. Collectively, women-owned businesses are changing the landscape of the business world – for the better! As of 2016, it is estimated that there are more than 11.3 million women-owned businesses in the United States, generating nearly $1.6 trillion in revenues and employing nearly 9 million people according to the second annual State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, commissioned by American Express OPEN.
In 2003, the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship—a program of the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University—launched an exciting entrepreneurial venture called WISE: Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship. WISE is an initiative to train and inspire women interested in launching or growing a business venture. The objectives of all training and events are to provide information, resources, and support for women entrepreneurs, enabling each to successfully advance their businesses to the next stage of profitability and success. Our goal is to create a thriving community of women entrepreneurs through two initiatives: the one-day WISE Symposium and the year-round WISE Women’s Business Center.
