About the Conference

WiB Conference

Women are key to driving inclusive economic development and building companies which are future-ready. Organizations with women in leadership positions are more profitable, make better decisions, and improve working conditions. The Women in Business (WiB) network understands this and wants to empower women across the region with the tools, skills, and networks to stand on the front lines of our economic transformation. The WiB Online Conference highlights important sectoral developments, identifies rising business opportunities, discusses solutions to common challenges, shares success stories, and best practices, and create new B2B opportunities for businesswomen across the region.


The program covers five themes: women on boards, women in STEM, digital tools for growth, export promotion, and senior entrepreneurship. We invite businesswomen, entrepreneurs, and aspiring future leaders to join us for an opportunity to share, learn, and grow amongst a group of truly inspiring women.
