Mozambique is experiencing a strong transformation in its economic landscape, partly spearheaded by a growing group of energetic women business leaders. Women in Mozambique today are increasingly helping to shape Mozambique's private sector. From founding pioneering startups to running big business enterprises, they are making significant contributions to job creation, innovation, and sustainable development.

They operate in various sectors including agriculture, energy, finance, logistics, and tourism which are the pillars of Mozambique's economy. Examples include women entrepreneurs in agribusiness who are revolutionizing traditional farming into scalable, export-oriented operations, while others initiate fintech and logistics startups that enhance services access in rural areas.
