The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce's (ABCC) 'WAHI-Women who inspire' committee, in cooperation with the 'Women Inside Trade' (WIT) Group, are set to host a webinar on September 16, 2020 titled, ‘Challenges and opportunities for women doing business within Arab countries.’ The virtual session aims to connect Brazilian and Arab women across three key pillars including business, social responsibility, and culture, as well as create a synergy and collaboration through the discussion of various aspects of foreign trade. The event is expected to witness the presence of Shamsa Al-Falasi, Cluster head of the Citibank Global Subsidiaries Group for the GCC & Iraq and Heuda Farah Guessous, cofounder of Morocco’s Foodeshow event.

Rubens Hannun, President, ABCC, said, “We are proud to announce the second webinar sponsored by ‘WAHI – Women who inspire’ and WIT, which will be highlighted by key talks and discussions featuring leading Arab and Brazilian businesswomen--all set to inspire and act as a catalyst for synergy and collaboration for female empowerment. The main goal is to create bridges when it comes to business development.”

“The webinar is positioned to serve as a strategic platform focusing on the experiences of women who are used to working with the Arab countries and who have been able to carve out opportunities. Through these series of virtual sessions, we want to encourage more deal-making experiences for those that have done it before and to help others overcome challenges--encouraging businesswomen to conquer new markets and explore business possibilities,” Hannun concluded.

‘WAHI – Women who inspire’ is a special committee established within the organization to help increase partnership and cooperation among Arab and Brazilian businesswomen. Meanwhile, WIT is an organization working together to get more women involved in foreign trade. The webinar is the second event to be hosted by ‘WAHI – Women who inspire’ and is part of a series of virtual sessions intended to spread knowledge and awareness regarding business relations between Arab and Brazilian women.
