About the Conference

WiB Conference

The WiB Conference is a dynamic convergence of minds, experiences, and insights. It targets businesswomen, entrepreneurs, and future leaders who share a collective vision of progress.

The objective of the conference, which will take place in Tunis on 30.11.2023 and 01.12.2023, is to support our network members to grow their businesses in a sustainable way using the new available technologies to create new opportunities nationally or internationally.  The event will focus on addressing challenges, capitalizing on opportunities, sharing best practices, and tools through a variety of discussions, and exploring ways to improve and make the most of the WiB network.

The overall objective of the WiB conference is to present at the following three tracks how digital technologies, and sustainable business models can lead to creating new business opportunities and growth.

- Digital Transformation:

The goal is to equip women entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge to effectively digitize their small businesses, introduce them to technology, and guide them in utilizing digital tools for growth and enhancing competitiveness in the digital marketplace.

- Sustainability: Another pivotal goal is to empower women entrepreneurs with tools to modernize their businesses and be able to know how to effectively use them to enhance their business sustainability and therefore drive growth. This will help them for marketing purposes, for example.

- New Opportunities:  Women-led Businesses will be able to identify new opportunities, emerging trends, and market gaps through best practices and examples of other Women-led Businesses. The goal is to foster a spirit of entrepreneurship and inspire them to unlock their full growth potential.
