About the program

Senior WiB

Numerous studies have shown that Senior Entrepreneurship will have significant economic impacts. However, Senior Researchers & Scientific Women entrepreneurs are still an underrepresented target within the Academia, facing gender-specific challenges that prevent them from developing a professional path towards independence and economic sustainability.

After surveying more than 100 Senior Women in Academia in the MENA region, Women In Business identified a solid potential in empowering Senior Researchers & Scientific Women by helping them pursue a Journey into entrepreneurship.

With this Senior WiB Program, Women In Business aims to challenge a widespread lack of diversity in the entrepreneurial landscape and bridge the existing gaps by providing Senior Researchers & Scientific Women Entrepreneurs with the right skills to get involved in entrepreneurship and start their own projects.
