The GBWCCI Business Data Lab

An Evidence Engine for Policy, Investment, and Inclusive Growth.

Where most conversations about women in business rely on anecdotes, the Business Data Lab delivers structured data, trend analysis, and decision-grade intelligence.

The Data Gap

Across markets, governments and corporates face the same challenge: decisions are being made without reliable, real-world data on women-led businesses.

The Result: Misaligned policy, ineffective interventions, and ESG strategies that struggle to prove impact.

The Solution

The Business Data Lab closes this gap by translating lived business reality into decision-grade intelligence. This is how inclusion becomes measurable.

The Outcome: Policy informed by empirical evidence, scalable inclusion, and defensible investment logic.

What the Lab Does

Transforming raw ecosystem activity into structured intelligence.

Aggregates Real Business Intelligence

We collect data directly from the ecosystem, including business size, constraints, and market access barriers.

A living dataset grounded in actual enterprise activity, not surveys alone.
Produces Decision-Grade Insights

The Lab transforms raw data into sector-specific reports, trend analysis, and risk/opportunity mapping.

Insight that informs policy design, investment, and program development.
Supports Evidence-Led Advocacy

Advocacy without data is opinion. We underpin policy dialogue with empirical evidence and quantified indicators.

A credible, irrefutable voice at policy and institutional tables.
Enables Smarter Institutional Partnerships

We provide custom research, impact measurement frameworks, and ESG-aligned reporting outputs.

Partners can demonstrate value, internally and publicly.

Data Governance

Data integrity and trust are non-negotiable. We ensure confidence for members and institutions alike.

  • Ethical data collection principles
  • Clear consent and anonymisation protocols
  • Aggregate-level reporting (no commercial exposure)
  • Independent governance oversight

If you can’t measure it, you can’t scale it.
If you can’t prove it, you can’t defend it.

The Business Data Lab exists so inclusion stops being aspirational, and starts being operational.
