DBWC for AIWF Conference 2009

The forum is titled "From Partnership to Prosperity: Women in the Arab World, France and the International Community."

Mrs. Raja Easa Al Gurg, President, DBWC and Executive Director of the Easa Al Gurg Group of Companies will speak at the forum about the accomplishments of Emirati women in various fields, including finance and business, and how her achievements have qualified her to take up a more comprehensive role in managing small and medium enterprises.

"All this is because of the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE (MGPH), and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai (MGPH) and their brethren, Their Highnesses, Members of the UAE's Supreme Council of Rulers and their continuous efforts in using all resources to enable the Emirati woman to participate in taking forward the wheel of growth and development,"

she said. Al Gurg will also discuss the challenges facing the Emirati businesswoman under the prevalent international circumstances.

Mrs. Raja said: "The AIWF is an important forum for all businesswomen since it offers them a significant opportunity to communicate with regional as well as international institutions and organizations."

She also commended the forum for bringing together businesswomen from around the world, and allowing for bridges of friendship and cooperation to be built between the Arab nations and the rest of the world, especially the European Union countries, which helps in establishing common entrepreneurships and increasing commercial exchanges.

The AIWF Conference 2009 aims to identify opportunities for business partnerships and innovative collaborations between women in the Arab world and women in France. The forum will explore opportunities for entrepreneurial and economic collaborations between women in the Middle East, the European Union, and the international community. The forum's other goals are to provide a window of insight into the motivations, successes and challenges of the women who are driving business growth in the Arab and French business spheres. It will also explore best practices in finance, asset management, research, innovation, real estate, and the education sector, highlighting successful models from the Arab and European business worlds.
