The Adam Smith Business School is delighted to host Future Her: Inspiring Young Entrepreneurs with DYW Glasgow, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and Scottish Women in Business for an inspiring morning of learning, collaboration and empowerment.

The purpose of this event is to inspire and empower young people by highlighting the importance of entrepreneurship and the diverse career paths available to them.
