The Executive Board Member noted that to achieve this, the Council constantly works on organising workshops, events, and training and development sessions to raise the awareness of female entrepreneurs of key entities, services, and opportunities that support them in achieving their business objectives. 

“Accordingly, this open day event aligns with our activities and initiatives that contribute to enhancing the role of businesswomen in Abu Dhabi’s private sector.
