Women's Business Center at JEDI

California 4th largest economy in the world...powered by women.

05/13/2026

Today we are at the California Women’s Economic Summit. (Our very own Director of JEDI, Nancy Swift is one of the voices talking about change and actively reshaping women’s economic opportunities.)

Women are starting businesses at record rates. They are leading in innovation, community development and local economic resilience.

Such a powerful room to be in and important conversation to be part of.

There’s a quiet shift happening in California’s economy. Women are starting businesses at record rates. They’re leading in innovation, community development, and local economic resilience. And yet… access to capital, childcare, digital infrastructure, and scalable support systems still lag behind the ambition and capability that’s already here.

So the real question isn’t whether women will shape the future of California’s economy. It’s whether the systems around them will catch up in time.

That’s exactly what the California Women’s Economic Summit is designed to confront—head-on.

A Room Where Power Actually Moves
On May 13 in Sacramento, something different is happening. Not another passive conference. Not a day of surface-level inspiration. This is a working room. A room where entrepreneurs, policymakers, funders, and ecosystem builders come together to do one thing: move women’s economic opportunity forward in real, tangible ways.

You’ll hear from leaders who are not just talking about change—they’re actively shaping it, including:

Monique Limón

Nancy Swift

Cecilia Aguiar-Curry

Twyla Garrett

These are the voices influencing policy, funding pathways, and the structural realities that determine whether businesses grow—or stall.
