LIDE Emirates has taken a significant step toward strengthening female presence in the business world with the launch of LIDE Emirates Women today in Dubai. This new thematic unit, to be led by businesswoman Fernanda Lo Re, is dedicated to amplifying the voices of female entrepreneurs and executives in the Middle East by fostering strategic connections, expanding opportunities, and creating an environment of collaboration and professional development.
The launch event was held at the sophisticated The Lana hotel, bringing together influential female leaders who hold prominent positions in multinational corporations and major companies across the United Arab Emirates. Among the distinguished attendees were:
LIDE Emirates Women is set to play a unique role in building bridges between women who are already leaders in the Arab market and those looking to expand their presence in the region. The initiative challenges stereotypes and reinforces the growing prominence of female leadership in the UAE, dispelling the misconception that women have limited space in Arab society. On the contrary, the country is increasingly recognizing female leaders in key economic decisions, and LIDE aims to drive this movement even further.
In recent years, the UAE has emerged as one of the world’s most innovative markets, implementing policies that encourage female participation in business and high-level leadership. In this context, LIDE Emirates Women serves as a hub of influence and networking, connecting businesswomen, executives, and decision-makers, both locally and internationally.
With this new unit, LIDE reaffirms its commitment to creating strategic opportunities and strengthening female presence at the heart of business and government decision-making. The launch of LIDE Emirates Women marks the beginning of a journey that promises to generate real impact, boosting the growth and visibility of women in the business world across the region.
