The Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC) is hosting this high-profile and intense pitching event where SBWC members have the opportunity to pitch to a panel of judges along with a venture capitalist. The winning pitch will receive instant funding.

SBWC Pearl Quest is providing the opportunity for seven aspiring business women to pitch their business ideas for a chance to win a monetary fund to grow their business. The participating members were enrolled in an intensive training course in partnership with PwC in preparation for this pitch event.

A panel of distinguished judges will choose three winners, based on the originality of their idea as well as  its sustainable social and environmental impact, and the functionality and ease with which it can be implemented.

This initiative aligns with SBWC’s commitment to provide a broad range of services to members, including  training and mentoring, as well as a platform to showcase their ideas.

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

When women thrive, humanity thrives. A common vision for a unique collaboration.

Fresh thinking is everywhere in Namibia, from its commitment to renewable energy to its ocean plan to mine for marine gems with the world’s first custom-built diamond-searching ship. At the Namibia Pavilion, you can explore these innovations and marvel at the sunny African nation's natural beauty – including looks at the windswept peaks of the world’s tallest sand dunes and the watering holes where the globe’s largest numbers of cheetahs and white rhinos still gather. Everywhere you turn, the warmth of Namibia shines forth.
