Fashion One is at the forefront of change, with a business model which bridges the gap between bespoke tailoring and off-the-shelf clothing.

In 2024, Invest Salone hosted the “Women in Tourism: Market and Investment Readiness” conference to explore one of the biggest challenges facing women in Sierra Leone’s tourism sector: access to finance. The event brought together financial institutions, policy-makers and entrepreneurs to share insights, build networks and identify opportunities to strengthen women-led businesses.
