Businesses owned and operated by women are one of the fastest growing business segments. This national program supports more businesswomen to take their products and services to the world.
The Women in Global Business program aims to increase female participation in international trade and deliver greater economic benefit and job creation. To women in business it offers a central source of information and resources, support and connection.
