Marrakech, World Women Capital from June 28 to 30
Regional-Morocco, Economics, 6/27/2003

Marrakech will host this June 28-30 the world women summit where more than 600 women will exchange and share experiences in business and define future strategies.

Various trade missions of women entrepreneurs and more than 40 women ministers from nearly 80 countries are expected to join the summit, illustrating the proactive role that the Summit fosters regarding women and the global market.

The encounter, held for the first time in an Arab state, will focus on accelerating women's economic development with an emphasis on cross-border business alliances. It is the vehicle for the formation of national and regional networks, for successful business initiatives and for the sheer exchange of ideas and practices that have energized women participating in the global market.

The summit's program includes a forum on economic development for participants from Arab states, a round table for women ministers and workshops on women's role in economic development and business opportunities in Morocco.

From workshops on strategic networking, the value of exporting, growing micro-enterprises into mainstream business through trade, to sessions on strengthening women's business associations, and learning how to do business online, the summit will celebrate women's leadership worldwide.
