As a member, DBWC provides informative business workshops focused on growth of women businesses in Dubai. DBWC is a major contributor in how my business strategy was defined for starting a business in the region. The empowerment of women with knowledge, tools and methods relating to business development, customer relationship management and the development of a go to market strategy. DBWC open its doors so a diverse group of business minded women entrepreneurs could focus on making long-term strategic decisions. I am looking forward to many years of continued collaborations and business opportunities. Collaboration is key for women businesses in the UAE.

Since I became a member in DBWC it has been an amazing experience. It is the place where women feel empowered, boost confidence and comfort in their role. I really would like to thank, compliment and commend you on the most outstanding activities that I have ever attended. Every experience was very productive and insightful. I found the sessions to be inspirational, motivational, and without a doubt time well spent. The benefits for me were personally and professionally. I am so proud to be part of this valuable network. Thank you for reaching me out and encouraging me to take the time to come and learn.

When we join hands in acknowledging both the internal and external conditions that may pose challenges when doing business in our region, we have already began the journey of arriving at solutions, one step at a time. Along the way, we celebrate all that we have accomplished so far and support one another in the mission to develop professional women and entrepreneurs so that we all have a greater advantage of working towards our potential.
DBWC is a great place to open your mind to learn, open your heart to connect to ignite your passion to achieve more in life, career and work.
Well Done DBWC
“Our partnership began as a result of a mutual research interest to study the engagement of women in the workplace and in leadership roles. Given the focus of work and mission of DBWC to promote and support the employment of women in Dubai, there was a natural alignment of interest and passion to make a contribution in this area. It was agreed that the study funded as part of the NRF-IRC Grant could contribute considerably to an understanding of the factors influencing women’s employment and leadership opportunities, and thus directly benefit the work of DBWC. The research, and educational expertise of the UOWD research team, combined with the practical and strategic application, of initiatives related to entrepreneurship and leadership amongst women by DBWC has made this collaboration a very valuable one, with fantastic support from DBWC throughout, and we look forward to continuing to work together to contribute towards the empowerment of women within the region.
Projects introduced to bring research into practice include the UOWD-DBWC Women and Leadership Seminar Series, launched with a view to contribute to narratives surrounding gender issues and factors impacting the emergence and enactment of leadership among women in the UAE, such that resource allocations can be prioritised in an informed manner.

emiratesfoundationyouthEmirates Foundation has been working to bring along positive and permanent change in the lives of youth across the UAE. One of our core commitments is to mentor and develop local talent. Working closely with the DBWC team and their diverse network, we have seen how successfully they have managed to give voice to female entrepreneurs across the UAE. It’s very inspiring to witness how DBWC have invested in fostering both females’ creativity and business acumen, and efficiently mobilized them to be part of the business sector by investing in their entrepreneurial ventures and enabling them to become productive members of society.
