German-Arab Women Business Leaders Summit 2018

15. - 17. Oktober 2018
Bayerischer Hof, Munich

The German-Arab Women Business Leaders Summit 2018 has been established to connect, engage and empower women across Germany and the Arab world.

When Women Lean In, Economies Win. Empowering women economically bears a major potential for economic growth worldwide. For more than 25 years I have had the pleasure of meeting many inspiring women leaders from different backgrounds, all succeeding, excelling and progressing in their chosen field of work. These women are strong, determined and passionate, their confidence, enthusiasm and presence sparkle. They are the most empowering women I have ever met. I feel these women are the key to motivating others in society, to unfold their full potential and open up new horizons, to help contribute to a growing world economy by sharing their expertise. I feel these extraordinary women play an essential strategic role in German- Arab business relations. So it was about time to create a platform to connect, share and grow alongside these empowered women. 

Held under the Patronage of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the German-Arab Women Business Leaders Summit, 15-17 October 2018 in Munich, offers a unique and exciting opportunity for businesswomen, entrepreneurs and professionals to engage with more than 400 high profile leaders and decision-makers from Germany and the Arab countries, to network, collaborate and share innovative ideas. 

The GAWBL Summit aims to strengthen and further explore German-Arab business relations. It seeks to promote women’s empowerment on a range of topics including, leadership, entrepreneurship, knowledge management, IT, financing and capacity building, so to deal with the new global challenges of modern management, interlinked societies, integrated economies and growing digitalization. It is time to network, innovate, create.
