The initiative is part of a strategic partnership between the two entities designed to empower women in the retail sector, both locally and internationally.
The partnership, which commenced a year ago, has successfully launched 18 homegrown brands to date in three batches, offering Emirati women entrepreneurs a platform to enter the competitive retail space.
Showcasing their unique products at the ETHER store in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi, helps these entrepreneurs to reach broader audiences and cement their presence in key commercial markets across the UAE, the Council said.
Nema F. Al Aghbari, Marketing & Membership Manager at the Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council, said the launch of the third round of Abu Dhabi-based female-owned startups highlights the Council’s commitment to fostering the growth of women in business.
“These entrepreneurs are entering innovative and sustainable fields, contributing fresh perspectives to the market,” she said.
Al Aghbari said the Council’s partnership with ETHER by Cloud Spaces has been vital in providing women entrepreneurs with the tools and guidance needed to excel.
