Dozens of women entrepreneurs from the Indian Women Network of the Confederation of Indian Industry will depart to the UAE next week to study AI governance in education and medical innovation.
\nIWN was launched in 2013 by India\u2019s largest and oldest industrial body, the CII, to create the largest network for professional women and promote their participation, growth and leadership in the workplace. Today, it has established chapters in almost two dozen Indian states.
\nFor its first international trip, IWN will lead a 35-member delegation comprising women entrepreneurs from various sectors of Indian industries for a two-day visit to the UAE\u2019s commercial capital, Dubai, starting Nov. 4.
\n\u201cDubai was chosen as the destination because of its progressive strides in areas such as AI governance in education, medical innovation, R&D and women\u2019s empowerment,\u201d Megha Chopra, co-chair of CII\u2019s IWN chapter in New Delhi, told Arab News on Thursday.
\n\u201cThe delegation will explore how Dubai has successfully implemented forward-thinking strategies in these sectors, drawing valuable insights to inspire similar growth and innovation in India.\u201d
\nThe trip, which also includes panel discussions and networking opportunities, aims to \u201cfoster knowledge-sharing, networking and leadership development\u201d as well as making connections with UAE-based industry pioneers, she added.
\nFor Chopra, executive director at software company RateGain Travel Technologies, the learning retreat is an important extension of the India-UAE economic partnership.
\n\u201cThis trip also highlights the significance of women\u2019s roles in enhancing bilateral ties and contributing to economic progress, with IWN creating a platform where Indian women entrepreneurs can not only draw inspiration, but also forge connections that could lead to tangible business partnerships and investments,\u201d she said.
\nIndia and the UAE have significantly advanced bilateral exchanges since they signed the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement in 2022.
\nThe UAE is the largest Middle Eastern investor in India, with investments amounting to about $3 billion in the financial year 2023-24, according to Indian government data.
\nThe two countries also expect to increase the total value of bilateral trade in non-petroleum products to more than $100 billion and trade in services to $15 billion by 2030.
\n\u201cBy connecting 35 women entrepreneurs from diverse Indian industries with eminent leaders and disruptors in Dubai, the delegation fosters knowledge exchange and cultivates potential avenues for cross-border collaborations,\u201d Chopra said.
\n\u201cIn essence, the IWN delegation strengthens the India-UAE economic bond, championing women\u2019s leadership as a key driver of continued growth and collaboration between the two nations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
