In a significant move to advance women-owned businesses in Nigeria’s energy sector, WEConnect International in Nigeria has announced a strategic partnership with the Women in Energy Network (WIEN). This collaboration aims to provide a robust platform for women working across the energy industry, offering them credible and trustworthy certification to do business with large corporations.

The partnership is set to strengthen the energy value chain by fostering connections, building confidence, and creating opportunities for women entrepreneurs to network and thrive within the industry.

As a global non-profit, WEConnect International is dedicated to driving money into the hands of women business owners by enabling them to compete in the global marketplace. Through its extensive network, the organization supports corporations, multilateral agencies, and governments in identifying, registering, training, and certifying Women-Owned Businesses, ensuring they are well-positioned for success.

WIEN’s vision aligns seamlessly with this mission, as it continues to champion the participation and advancement of women in leadership roles across the energy value chain in support of national development.

By leveraging the collective strengths of WEConnect International in Nigeria, and Women in Energy Network (WIEN), this partnership is poised to drive positive change and greater inclusivity in the energy industry. Both organizations anticipate a transformational impact, ensuring that more women entrepreneurs gain access to business opportunities, resources, and corporate procurement networks.

As this collaboration unfolds, WEConnect International and Women in Energy Network (WIEN) look forward to creating a more equitable and dynamic energy sector, where women can compete, succeed, and lead in shaping the future of the industry.
