Women in Business
Corporate Business Services (CBS) representatives have attended ‘Women in International Business Forum’ which took place 22 September 2013 in Dubai as part of the events launched by the State Government of Victoria, Australia’s Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business, Minister for Tourism and Major Events, and Minister for Employment and Trade, Louise Asher.
This successful event was inspiring for women of both U.A.E. and Australia and encouraged them to engage in the business community to help enhance the trade initiatives of both countries.
The guest speakers of this event have shared their experiences in doing business in Dubai which proved to be one of the best environments for businesswomen because of what the government of the U.A.E. has facilitated and made easy for them. Donna Benton, Founder/CEO of The Entertainer was interviewed at the event and she has mentioned the example of special counters for women only in government offices which actually help speed up the transactions for women.
From the inspiration of this event,CBS is keen to highlight the initiatives and support that its management and team provide for women entrepreneurs in establishing their business in the U.A.E and is proud to partner with them and assist them to grow their business in the region.
