Women In Creative Technologies

Women in business come in so many different forms.

There is no single journey to becoming a woman in business.
Between work, family, meetings, school drop-offs, late nights and everything else, many women are quietly building businesses alongside their everyday lives.

Power Her Up is here for those women. Women who are already taking action. Women who are growing something alongside their careers. Women who want to learn, connect and meet others who truly understand the journey. Because building a business can sometimes feel lonely, especially when you're trying to fit it around everything else in your life.

But you don't have to build it alone.

Power Her Up is about bringing women together to share experiences, build meaningful connections, learn new skills and grow alongside one another.
You don't have to do it alone.

Power Her Up 2026–27 is an initiative of the Government of South Australia's Office for Small and Family Business and the South Australian Small Business Strategy 2023–2030. The program is organised by Women in Creative Technologies and delivered in partnership with Tank Stream Labs and Innovation Central Adelaide.

Power Her Up. Let’s push each other upwards and grow together.

How many times have we heard, “You just need to be more confident”?

Speak up more. Put yourself out there. Back yourself.

But sometimes, confidence is not what is missing. Sometimes, you simply need the right room and the opportunity to be heard.

That is why our Power Her Up launch will include a Business Spotlight session.

You will have one minute to stand up and tell a supportive group of women entrepreneurs about your business. No perfect pitch needed. Just your story, your idea and 60 seconds to put your business out there.

Because sometimes, one introduction can lead to a valuable conversation, a new connection or an opportunity you did not know was there.

Would you take the mic for one minute? 👀
