Abstract: The Female Entrepreneurship Index (FEI) for 2024 aims to pinpoint the elements that facilitate the success of promising high-potential female entrepreneurs—those who manage and possess ventures characterized by innovation, market growth, and a focus on exports. Ambitious female entrepreneurs, through their commercial pursuits, not only enhance their personal financial standing but also make significant contributions to their society’s economic and social structure. The FEI’s methodical framework allows for international comparisons and evaluations of genderspecific circumstances that typically influence the growth of productive female entrepreneurship. As an analytical tool for comprehensively recognizing and examining the environment that is conducive to the advancement of productive businesses led by women, the FEI goes beyond merely tallying the number of female entrepreneurs. Instead, it concentrates on highlighting an economy’s assets and limitations in cultivating an atmosphere or potential that could nurture the development of exceptional female-driven enterprises.
