What about the next ten? In this piece, Business adviser Pete McLean explores three key topics to focus on for the next decade. He challenges us to push ourselves, but at the same time be mindful of our wellbeing. Pete has provided us with some great tools, so be sure to check his blog post.

It's been a long and productive year and we all deserve a break. Recharge the batteries, catch-up with friends and family, you name it. That's why our incubators will be closed from Monday, 23 December to Thursday, 2 January.

We hope you enjoy your break when it comes! Happy holidays from the BRT Team.

The AccelerateHER Awards are a celebration of female founders and their potential to grow their companies and scale internationally. Now in their fifth year, the awards have provided a springboard to growth for finalists and winners by opening doors to new connections and opportunities through the global AccelerateHER network. Be sure to let your network know!
W omenBeing has gone to print.

WomenBeing is a magazine of international feminist perspectives. It's an alternative to mainstream women’s magazines and a connection to lived change in intersectional equalities between our conferences. The magazine's aim is to support women from developing countries researching or working in fields related to women’s rights, struggling to make their voices heard internationally.
Opportunities

SIE's last entry for 2019! If you are a current student or a recent graduate make sure to apply. If not, do share with your network. It's a great opportunity to test your early stage idea, and potentially win some cash.
