Global Business Event in Madrid to Advance Opportunities for Women-Owned Businesses

WEConnect International, the leading global nonprofit connecting women-owned businesses with large corporate buyers, will host its Europe & MENA Summit from November 16–18, 2025, at La Nave in Madrid.

The event will kick off on November 16 with a welcome day, featuring a guided walking tour to explore the city and immerse in its rich culture. The main event will take place on November 17-18, bringing together more than 500 people: women-owned businesses from around the world with member buyers and strategic partners—including chambers of commerce, business associations, and institutions focused on women’s entrepreneurship and impact sourcing. Over the course of these two days, the event will provide a platform for strategic networking, business training, and supplier-buyer matchmaking. The agenda includes expert panels, one-on-one meetings, interactive workshops, and best practice presentations, all aimed at advancing supply chain resiliency and inclusive economic growth.

The event is held in collaboration with La Nave, with institutional support from the Madrid Chamber of Commerce, Madrid City Council, and regional allies including the One-Stop Shop for Internationalization (VUI), Castilla-La Mancha Foreign Promotion Institute (IPEX), Proexca – Government of the Canary Islands, ASTUREX – Foreign Promotion Agency of Asturias, Plan Internacional de Navarra, and INFO Región de Murcia.
