ITC Small Business Week at EXPO 2020: Investing in Women Entrepreneurs: the Added Value

The conversation explores how to reduce or eliminate the financing gap experienced by women specifically in the Middle East and African regions. The panel will examine solutions to overcome barriers and ease women’s access to capital and other financing needs. Closing the gender gap and supporting women’s financial inclusion could facilitate new business opportunities for women and other vulnerable groups, lower investment costs, increase social inclusion, reduce inequality, and accelerate achievement of the SDGs with more balanced development and inclusive growth. The event is organized by ITC, in partnership with the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation
