Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC), an affiliate of NAMA Women Advancement Establishment (NAMA), recently hosted more than 30 delegates representing a diverse array of industries from the Netherlands and Brazil as part of its ‘Women Invest in Women’ networking series aimed at forging closer ties, sharing knowledge, expanding business acumen, and exploring promising investment and business opportunities in the emirate of Sharjah.

The ‘Women Invest in Women’ networking series is part of SBWC’s international efforts aimed at enhancing cooperation by bringing women from all over the world to Sharjah to explore partnership and business opportunities in the emirate, and to also expand and grow in Sharjah, the UAE, and across the region. SBWC also sought to connect businesswomen from the UAE with their counterparts in the Netherlands and Brazil to enhance commercial ties between the two sides and to introduce the overseas delegates to the varied business services and incentives available to facilitate growth of both traditional and non-traditional businesses in the emirate.

Following the networking session, HE Sheikha Hind bint Majid Al Qasimi, SBWC Chairperson, said: “SBWC believes in the exponential power of female entrepreneurship and our members met with delegates from the Netherlands and Brazil in the spirit of friendship and collaboration to exchange knowledge and expertise to achieve lasting solutions that best support women in business. Women business owners bring new ideas and perspectives to the table, and their innovations in services and products have the potential to transform and redefine our collective futures.”

The networking session was held at The Chedi Al Bait in Sharjah in the presence of SBWC members with entrepreneurs, experts, and business leaders representing Women of the World from the Netherlands and Future Business, a Brazil-based organisation.
