EMPOWERING FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS THROUGH GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
Our Mission Is to Provide and Continue to Grow a Global Network That Drives Women’s Entrepreneurial Empowerment.
Since the IWEC Foundation’s inception on 2007, our goal has been to support successful midsize women-owned businesses in gaining and expanding access into international markets and in growing their visibility and brands.
Visibility
Recognize successful women business owners on a global scale. Each year our chambers of commerce and women’s business affiliates choose successful women business owners from their network to honor them and present them awards at our annual conference. IWEC also follows all of our past awardees on social media and helps them to gain more visibility through postings and re-postings to the broad international IWEC network. Past awardees are featured in IWEC’s monthly newsletter and also are invited to participate in local events globally focused on successful women business owners.
Education
Provide education to support and further advance women-owned business growth through shared business opinions and intel on economics, country focus and industries. IWEC gathers information and provides it to our network as well as imparts face-to-face education at our annual themed-conferences.
Connections
Create a global network and enable female entrepreneurs to connect locally, nationally, and internationally. Our connections with global chambers of commerce, women’s business organizations and their networks enables IWEC to expand connectivity for all of our past awardees. Our internal communications platform (in development) provides a tool for our network to connect as well as our website and social media platforms.
Market Intelligence
Provide data and insights to drive global economic growth. Chambers of Commerce and local government economics reports are available and circulated to provide our CEOs to determine what markets are good for their services and products. In addition, the chamber leaders are available 24/7 to connect our CEOs to other local agencies and business owners to also provide intel and local links to businesses and industries.
