The Women's International Networking (WIN) programme is a brand-new initiative designed to increase the participation of women-owned and women-led businesses in international trade and create opportunities for females to achieve economic empowerment.
49% of all business that have exported in the last 12 months have zero female partners or directors. The WIN programme aims to change the landscape for women in business, one market and industry at a time.
With hard-hitting content including virtual training, business mentoring, panel discussions and peer to peer networking opportunities, the programme offers a structured and supportive environment for women to grow their businesses and achieve their potential.
You will participate in an insightful agenda of activities designed to build the confidence and skills of female leaders, before embarking on an overseas trade mission to put those capabilities into practice and explore potential exporting opportunities for your business.
You will gain:
- Increased clarity in terms of business direction
- Strategic tips to achieve personal and business goals
- Greater confidence in skills and abilities
- Enhanced pitching and communication skills
- Reignited passion for your industry
