On 23 October, GWTC brought together more than 40 participants from Afghanistan, Europe, and the diaspora to celebrate Afghan women's entrepreneurship and explore international business opportunities.
Five women entrepreneurs from Balkh, Kabul, Bamiyan, Kandahar, and Nimroz showcased their businesses, products, craftsmanship, and challenges.
Guest speakers Nilofar Ayoubi, Kabir Khan Isakhel, and Sofia Asghari shared insights on entrepreneurship, international markets, professional networks, and women's empowerment.
The event highlighted opportunities for mentorship, marketing, branding, business partnerships, and market access, connecting Afghan women entrepreneurs directly with professionals and potential supporters worldwide.
Our U.S.–Canada Virtual Dialogue & Business Showcase on October 26th brought together more than 60 Afghan women entrepreneurs from Afghanistan and the diaspora, as well as professionals and prospective partners. After introductions by Manizha Wafeq, Aziza Akrami, and Nazeela Elmi, five women entrepreneurs from five provinces- Kabul, Herat, Jawzjan, Nangarhar, and Daikundi- showcased their products, artisanship, business ambitions, and practical needs.
