Empowering Women in Tech and Leadership Through Innovation and Purpose-Driven Careers

By Zamie Ayo

1. Organization: Futer Makers by Standard Chartered

    Location: Ghana | Program Type: Women in Tech

    Application Deadline: 30-5-2025

    Brief

    Applications are open for the Standard Chartered Bank Women in Tech Incubator Ghana 2025. Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC, in partnership with Village Capital is excited to announce the call for applications for the 5th Cohort of the Standard Chartered Women in Tech (FWIT) Incubator Program. A flagship initiative under Standard Chartered’s global Futuremakers program and implemented by the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre, empowers women-led and women-owned businesses with the tools, training, and funding needed to leverage technology and build scalable, innovative businesses that address Ghana’s pressing economic and environmental challenges for sustainable growth and social impact.

    Despite women driving 34% of formal SMEs (World Bank, 2023) and 44% of micro-enterprises (Ghana Statistical Service, 2021), persistent barriers like limited access to finance (65%), digital skills gaps (40%), and regulatory hurdles (35%) (Mastercard Index, 2023) hinder their growth. The FWIT program directly tackles these challenges, fostering sustainable businesses with measurable social impact.

    • World-class training: A “Mini MBA” in business development, leadership, and digital innovation
    • Personalized mentorship: One-on-one advisory sessions with industry experts
    • Masterclasses & networking: Access to workshops and connections with top entrepreneurs
    • Support services: Legal, financial, and tech development guidance
    • Funding opportunity: Top five finalists receive $10,000 (GHS equivalent) in equity-free grants

    Eligible applicants must:

    • Be Ghanaian women owning at least 50% of a registered business
    • Have a business that has operated for at least 12 months
    • Use technology or innovation in their product/service
    • Demonstrate social, economic, or environmental impact

    Raising Women Magazine Issue 045 – June 2026

    There is a difference between living and merely functioning.
    Somewhere between the notifications, deadlines, responsibilities, ambitions, and endless demands of modern life, many of us have become exceptionally good at keeping going. We show up. We deliver. We carry. We cope. Yet beneath the appearance of productivity, an important question remains: are we truly well?
    In this issue of Raising Women Magazine, we explore wellness not as a trend, but as a deeper conversation about humanity, health, purpose, and presence.
    Our cover feature introduces Dr. Heidi Beilis, a pioneering physician helping to shape the future of healthcare through artificial intelligence. Her work reminds us that innovation is at its best when it serves people, particularly women whose lives may be transformed by earlier diagnoses and better outcomes.
    Elsewhere, we explore grief, ambition, beauty, leadership, healthspan, rest, and the invisible burdens many women carry. We ask difficult questions about what it means to thrive, not simply survive.
    As I wrote in this issue’s Find Her Light column, sometimes the rest we need is not sleep. Sometimes it is space. Sometimes it is perspective. Sometimes it is permission.

    Raising Women Magazine Issue 044 – May 2026

    There is something deeply revealing about the way a society treats its children. Not just in policy or parenting, but in the stories it tells them, the spaces it creates for them, and the kind of world it quietly prepares them to inherit. In this Children’s Day edition, Raising Women Magazine turns its attention to childhood itself, not as a sentimental phase of life, but as the foundation upon which identity, confidence, memory, and humanity are built.

    Our cover star, Ms. Rachel, represents a refreshing reminder that gentleness still matters in an age of noise. Through patience, intentionality, and emotional safety, she has transformed songs and screen time into a global classroom for millions of children and families.

    Across this issue, we explore the emotional architecture of childhood, from the girls who learn too early to shrink themselves, to the children quietly carrying adult burdens before they fully understand their own. We also interrogate modern parenting, digital culture, family, safety, and the futures young people are already shaping.

    Because childhood is never just preparation for life.

    In many ways, it is life itself.
