BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum Coming to Moscow

The BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum will take place in Moscow on 2–4 June 2024. More than 200 delegates from 35 countries are expected to take part in the event, including representatives from the local chapters of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance. The Forum will host a Made in BRICS exhibition of goods made by women. The Forum is a flagship event of the Women’s Business Alliance and part of Russia’s BRICS Chairship.

The Forum will be attended by representatives of the business and expert community, BRICS national authorities, and international media. Participants will discuss cooperation on trade and investment, access to digital technologies, the development of the creative industries, and the role of women in industry and a more inclusive economy.

According to the Chair of the Russian chapter of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance Anna Nesterova, the Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum is being held for the first time in an expanded format. 10 interstate co-operation agreements will be signed. The expansion of the association is expected to contribute to the development of women’s entrepreneurship across an area that covers almost half of the world’s population.

A Unified Digital Platform for Women’s Entrepreneurship will be launched during the Forum along with a Competition of Best Women’s Startups. The Alliance platform will serve as a shared information and communication tool for women entrepreneurs, and the competition will help find the best startup business models for scaling up with the best projects in BRICS.

Sberbank is the general partner of the BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum.
