Sharjah, UAE – It’s been a busy start to the year for members of the Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC), who have made big leaps in their journeys of learning and business networking. 

SBWC has a member community of 2,000+ business women and aspiring entrepreneurs. From organising introductory meetings across the UAE to hosting networking events and expert-led workshops, SBWC brought members closer to new prospects in fashion, F&B, perfumes, and other sectors.

Praising SBWC’s successful start to the year, Mariam Rashid Bin Al Shaikh, Director of SBWC, said that in Sharjah and SBWC, they believed in empowering women with the right knowledge, skill sets and connections in a variety of market sectors. 

“We are extremely happy with the results of our strategic efforts to upskill and integrate more women into the UAE’s economy this year,” she said.

SBWC, she added, has launched 45 targeted initiatives to support female entrepreneurs. 

“Our global network of 48 nations opens new markets and opportunities, and our single-window service for women seeking business set-up opportunities in Sharjah ensures seamless entry into the market”, she said.

Member businesses were offered exposure at key community events like the Ramadaniyat event at Sharjah’s House of Wisdom, the Azyan event at Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre (JRCC), and during several International Women’s Day engagements. 

Members’ businesses were also showcased to target audiences through pop-ups at over 10 locations across Sharjah at various community events and partner organisations.

Saeed Ghanem Al Suwaidi gave a session titled “The Roadmap to Business Success” at SBWC Talks, an exclusive platform for members to share expertise, examine best practises, and learn from accomplished business professionals.
