Iwec Foundation

The IWEC Foundation provides market intelligence, networking, educational, and mentoring opportunities for successful female entrepreneurs. We support them in gaining and expanding access into international markets as well as in growing their visibility and brands. Since our inception in 2007, more than 35 affiliate and chamber of commerce partners spanning five continents have joined our efforts to support women-owned businesses. The IWEC Foundation established its annual conference to bring together and educate female business owners from all over the world; and to honor these successful entrepreneurs, who are being welcomed into the network following an extensive vetting process. Our ecosystem has grown to a vibrant group of 337 women business owners from 40 countries, who represent industries ranging from fashion, consumer products, and consulting services to STEM, agriculture, and manufacturing.
