Abstract

Women's entrepreneurship has been relevant for several years in the MENA region. It has been recognized as a lever for economic and social growth as well as a tool for job creation attracting more and more theorists and researchers from across the globe. In this particularly buoyant context, the goal of our research paper is to identify the factors influencing the motivation of women entrepreneurs in this region on the assumption that socio-cultural and individual factors are at the heart of women's entrepreneurship in the MENA region. The answers are supported through a qualitative study based on the empirical results of a survey of 45 innovative entrepreneurs from 10 different countries between 2017 and 2020 and based on an in-depth literature review.
