In the spirit of International Women’s Day, which is commemorated on 8th March worldwide, the event will place emphasis on celebrating not only the successes of the hard-working women entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses, but also the countless hours of hard work, the sacrifices made, and the challenges they have overcome.

That is why we bring them together to celebrate them on the occasion of International Women’s Day.”

She said, “the VTF Programme considers the event not only as a perfect platform for exposure, confidence building and visibility for our NETWET members, but for networking and forming strategic partnerships as well.”
