By Zamie Ayo

    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

    • Masterclasses & networking: Access to workshops and connections with top entrepreneurs
    • Support services: Legal, financial, and tech development guidance

    There is a quiet shift taking place in the stories women are telling.

    For years, success was measured by titles, milestones, and visibility. Today, we are asking deeper questions. What does influence look like? Who is changing the world? Which friendships shape the women we become? And how do we carry our heritage into a future we are helping to build?

    This edition celebrates women and girls of African descent whose ideas, courage, creativity, and leadership are reshaping global conversations. Our cover feature is a reminder that Africa is not waiting to be discovered.

    At Raising Women Magazine, we remain committed to one belief: when women rise with purpose, they do not simply change their own stories. They expand what the world believes is possible.
