Welcome to BWC Glasgow Futures Group
Business Women Connections is dedicated to fostering the growth and development of women in business. With our new initiative, BWC Futures Group, we aim to provide vital support to young women under the age of 25 who are eager to start their own businesses. Recognising that university is not the only path to success, we also engage with 6th-year school pupils who may choose entrepreneurship and seek organisational support.
