More About SWEN

The Surrey Women’s Entrepreneurship Network (SWEN) is a dynamic initiative dedicated to curating and creating opportunities for women to foster growth in both their ventures and networks.

Through its resources, the network strives to enhance funding accessibility for women-owned businesses, while also demystifying finances and investment to empower female entrepreneurs.

SWEN was established by the University of Surrey in 2023, managed by Surrey Research Park as part the university’s outreach engagement activities and support for businesses in its Surrey Innovation District ecosystem.

Having enjoyed huge growth in its first year, the network is transitioning into a member-led business community with a greater focus on peer-to-peer support.
