“Women entrepreneurship is as vital as ever, and our goal is to set up women leaders for success.”

.…on the Women in Innovation Summit slated for Dallas Startup Week.
“Women in business are necessary for economic growth and—in our case—for the economic development of Dallas,” Miller said. “Through allyship, supporting the growth of women-owned enterprises helps to close the gender inequality gap.
Of three summits to be held during Dallas Startup Week in early August, the Women of Innovation Summit is right in Miller’s wheelhouse. Powered by Toyota Financial Services, the summit will celebrate women who transform their ideas and ambitions into a reality.
“Women have untapped potential, and statistics show that women who founded and co-founded start-ups tend to perform better,” she added. “Women leaders excel in teamwork, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving.”
Miller said the summit during DSW22 is a perfect opportunity for women to gain expert insights and create new networking channels: “We shouldn’t underestimate the power of new business exposure opportunities.”
