EY SDG Accelerator for Women Entrepreneurs 2025

Deadline: June 15, 2025

Applications are open for the EY SDG Accelerator for Women Entrepreneurs 2025. Women entrepreneurs remain underrepresented in the AI and tech sectors and face significant barriers to accessing the financing they need to scale their businesses. Despite these challenges, they are driving some of the most impactful innovations for social and environmental change.

The EY SDG Accelerator for Women Entrepreneurs is designed to help close this gap by supporting women-led AI ventures that align with the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) – fostering solutions that tackle climate change, improve livelihoods, and build resilient communities across the Global South.

This accelerator program will identify, and support 5 AI-driven impact enterprises led by women in Africa, Latin America and South/Southeast Asia over a 6-month period. These impact enterprises must be leveraging AI for good, using responsible AI practices, to address critical challenges faced across the world today – from climate change, food insecurity, social and economic inequity and beyond.

Benefits

Selected entrepreneurs will receive the following benefits throughout the 6-month program:

  • Dedicated one-to-one EY business coach, professional technical workshops, and capacity-building sessions facilitated by industry-leading collaborators.
  • Access to a global network of investors, corporates, and social innovators.
  • Regular peer-to-peer calls to build a global community.
  • Occasional opportunities to join various events, promotional opportunities, and external collaborator engagements.

Eligibility

  • Tech for Good: Must use AI/ML for social impact and follow responsible AI practices.
  • Female Founder: The applicant must be female and a founder, co-founder, or owner of the company. She must be the key decision-maker (CEO/MD) with a significant ownership stake.
  • Social Enterprise: The business must be a for-profit, nonprofit, hybrid, or cooperative social enterprise.
  • Geographic Focus: The organization must operate in Africa, Latin America, South, or Southeast Asia.
  • Legal & Operational Status: The business must be legally incorporated and in operation for at least one year.
  • Growth Potential: The applicant must be looking to grow both the business’s income and impact.
  • Language Requirement: Proficiency in English (as this is a global program).

Application

Applications will close on June 15, 2025. Successful applicants will then be notified by June 18, 2025 and will be invited to a short interview process. The final selection for 5 ventures will be made by the end of June 2025.
