Africa & Middle East

WEConnect International in Africa and the Middle East connects women-owned enterprises to corporations under their Supplier Diversity and Inclusion programs. Our non-profit organization helps women-owned businesses in the region gain equal access to global markets and financing to support inclusive and sustainable global growth.

We also help regional and multinational corporations learn best practices in building successful SD&I programs, especially on the business case of buying from women-owned businesses. We offer networking & matchmaking evens between member buyers and women entrepreneurs to catalyze those connections.
