Pathways Forward

In March 2022, Ana Stewart was commissioned by Kate Forbes, then Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy, to chair an independent review into female entrepreneurship in Scotland. Published in February 2023 and co-authored by Ana Stewart and Mark Logan, the Pathways report is the culmination of that review. Its recommendations are concerned with dramatically raising the participation level of women in the entrepreneurial economy, thereby increasing Scotland's entrepreneurial capacity and improving its economic performance. Pathways Forward is about connecting, informing and creating a community of founders, organisations, eco-system stakeholders and advocates in the entrepreneurial eco-system to drive forward change by embracing the principles and recommendations of the Pathways report.
