Bahrain's First Women Power Summit Looks For Businesswomen For A Power Pitch Session

Bahrain is hosting the first Women Power Summit on May 6th and 7th, organised by Obai & Hill and featuring 100 international, regional and local influential women speakers before 500 female guests from around the world, at Isa Cultural Hall. Showcasing new opportunities for investment, partnership, and collaborations created by inspiring female entrepreneurs, innovators and investors, the summit aims to connect and form lasting relationships, and highlight entrepreneurship as a means to address some of the most intractable global challenges. 

"The time is now, gender equality is a moral priority whether you're in government, business, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or research institutions – it's simply the 'right thing to do’," Obai & Hill's CEO Wafa Obaidat tells Startup Scene ME. "Secondly, women are key managers of natural resources and powerful agents of change. Women also offer different perspectives, concerns and ideas for change."
