The second edition of the Sharjah-Europe Business Women Forum will get underway on Tuesday in Brussels, bringing 500 participants from around the world, including a distinguished group of businesswomen from the UAE and European countries.
The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized the forum in an association with the European Women’s Association. The forum will witness key officials, diplomats, and representatives from Sharjah government entities such as the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa), the Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC), and the Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA).
The program will comprise panel discussions and business meetings-all focusing on accelerating women’s empowerment with leading trends in new emerging economic sectors, built on the basis of fundamental skills required to lead growth of business and open markets to their ventures.
The agenda of the Sharjah-Europe Business Women Forum will include, amongst other things, new models of financing women’s enterprises as well as business meetings intended to enhance economic cooperation opportunities between Emirati and European women entrepreneurs.
The forum will present the main economic advantages that Sharjah has uniquely, such as its investment appeal, strategic location, and advanced infrastructure and legal framework, thus promoting lucrative investment opportunities and incentives to businesswomen and startups looking to expand their businesses into Middle Eastern markets, encouraging them to start their own business and ventures within the emirate.
Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa) CEO Sara Belhaif Al Nuaimi underscored the strategic opportunities of the Sharjah-Europe Businesswomen Forum in terms of knowledge sharing and building bridges of cooperation for businesswomen and women tycoons in the emirate and their counterparts across Europe.
“This forum echoes Sheraa’s basic mission of permitting entrepreneurs and the circulation of innovation and growth. We are committed to deepening ties between Sharjah and Belgium, to working globally for the challenges associated with women’s business funding, and to discovering new sources of investment in promising economic sectors,” she said.
Sheraa will strengthen its commitment to its policy of positioning Sharjah as a leading center for innovation and sustainable growth according to the vision of the UAE and the directives of its leadership by unlocking world-class resources and markets for women-led startups.
