The partnership agreement, signed on the concluding day of SBWC’s four-day trade mission to Mumbai, considered as the commercial capital of India, is expected to mark a new phase of cross-border collaboration between Emirati and Indian women entrepreneurs.
The agreement aims to open new avenues for cooperation in vital sectors and enhance economic empowerment for women in both regions.
During the mission, SBWC members were also engaged in high-level meetings and site visits, connecting with over 70 Indian companies.
The initiative aimed to strengthen ties with potential partners, leveraging India’s entrepreneurship expertise and fostering collaboration in key sectors, including technology, fashion, food and beverages, and jewellery.
Led by Mariam Bin Al Sheikh, Director of SBWC, the delegation included SBWC Advisory Council Members Alya Taryam and Maitha Al Ansari, alongside other council members. Participants had the opportunity to showcase their businesses and explore potential partnerships with their Indian counterparts.
“Our mission over the past four days has created pathways for growth and collaboration, uniting our strengths to drive innovation and create a lasting impact,” said Mariam Bin Al Sheikh.
“Together, we can redefine the future of business and inspire future generations,” she said.
