About
The UAE Japan Women in Business Forum is a platform for discussion, proposals, and business practice co-cocreated by women leaders from Japan and the UAE, based on “Harmony and Cooperation” to build a new economic sphere called “The WEconomy.”
This is an international summit that balances practicality and
philosophy. It gathers women leaders across all sectors—from
influencers and SME entrepreneurs to large corporations,
academia, and government—to deepen exchange. Its objective is to specifically create co-creation business models instead of the traditional competition-based models.
Objective
From Competition to Co-creation.
WEconomy: Creating a next-generation
economic sphere that pursues
the harmony of “us (We)”
rather than
“my” profit
