The UAE is recognised as the globalized financial region and the undisputed tourism, trade and investment hub. According to the World Economic Forum, Women are becoming a force to be reckoned with on the business scene across the Middle East with one in three small enterprises being founded or led by women. On a leadership front, there is a significant rise of women leaders making waves in the region with more women being elevated to top leadership positions.
