.…on the Women in Innovation Summit slated for Dallas Startup Week.
Dallas Startup Week runs August 7 through 11, both virtually and in person at SMU’s Cox School of Business.
Of three summits to be held during the week, the Women of Innovation Summit is right in Miller’s wheelhouse. The summit is powered by her company, Toyota Financial Services, and will celebrate women who transform their ideas and ambitions into a reality.
Closing the gender inequality gap
“Women in business are necessary for economic growth and—in our case—for the economic development of Dallas,” Miller said. “Through allyship, supporting the growth of women-owned enterprises helps to close the gender inequality gap.
“Women have untapped potential, and statistics show that women who founded and co-founded start-ups tend to perform better,” she added. “Women leaders excel in teamwork, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving,”
Miller said the summit during DSW22 will “connect participants with like-minded individuals and allows the perfect opportunity for participants to gain expert insight and create new networking channels. We shouldn’t underestimate the power of new business exposure opportunities.”
