Dubai Business Women Council (DBWC) has supported The Business Factory, a business expo aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners, which was held on April 30, 2013 at the IMAX Theatre in Meydan, Dubai.

Organised by Heels & Deals, a Dubai-based networking group for female entrepreneurs, The Business Factory was created to provide support to all SME (Small & Medium Enterprises) and new ventures in the UAE. The event featured inspirational workshops, networking sessions and one-to-one mentoring sessions with seasoned professionals.

DBWC President Raja Al Gurg said, “The UAE offers a highly conducive environment for SMEs given the country’s excellent infrastructure, strong government support, an array of business incentives and the ease of setting up operations. These factors have greatly encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs in the UAE, including a large number of women, to pursue their dreams and set up their own businesses. Our support to The Business Factory was in line with our broader efforts to empower the country’s business women, who are pivotal to the UAE’s sustained socio-economic development.”

Founded in 2002, DBWC motivates women to be productive members of the society, while encouraging role models to rise up from the ranks and inspire other women around the world, especially in the Arab region, to discover their true potential. DBWC organises the high-profile monthly event ‘Network Majlis’ to provide information about the latest knowledge, skills and best practices for women entrepreneurs and leaders.
