Female heads of household have been shown to have a significant impact on innovation, contributing positively to the formation of more fair and sustainable leadership models in the business environment. This study focused on analyzing the role of innovation and its impact on emerging companies led by female heads of household in the Cangahua sector – northeast of the province of Pichincha. The research has a quantitative, retrospective approach. A questionnaire was applied to 385 workers from two emerging companies, and its results were analyzed through inferential statistics. The companies are in the Cangahua sector, northeast of the province of Pichincha. Likewise, the scope is descriptive, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The results obtained show that the leadership of female heads of household has a significant and positive linear correlation with the generation of innovation in emerging companies, obtaining a Spearman correlation coefficient value of 0.708. It was concluded that these initiatives generate employment and helpimprove economic conditions in the region. In addition, they empower women, promoting gender equality and strengthening the role of leaders for the development of business and technical skills, thanks to solid community support networks already established.
