She’s Next Grant Competition is a global endeavor to spotlight women in business. It has been specifically designed to help women entrepreneurs and small business owners secure the funding they need to survive and thrive, while also empowering them with coaching, peer-to-peer connections, and inspiration. Forbes Middle East in collaboration with Visa is hosting “She’s next: Spotlighting Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East” to shed light on the growing importance of shifting the mindset of “It’s a man’s world” in this region targeting the UAE, KSA, Egypt, and Morocco.
This event will harness powerful female business leaders and entrepreneurs to discuss the challenges faced and how to overcome the barriers hindering growth. The event will also feature insights on how to enhance business management skills, coaching female entrepreneurs while creating an awareness of Visa’s grants and programs to launch and develop SMEs. Between each session, we will have an open mic with the top 2 winners from each of the 4 markets to give them the opportunity to share their business stories in the form of an elevator pitch.
Before we kick-start the series of insightful talks and discussions on the day, the MC will give a quick shout-out to celebrate the 5 winners in each market acquiring $10,000 prize fund each and 1-year IFW mentorship program.
Join us in this exclusive event to find out the key strategies for women empowerment and thus achieving gender equality. “It’s time people started seeing that being a woman in business is a strength, not a weakness.”
