Women's Entrepreneurship EXPO 2024 Satellite Event

Women entrepreneurs from across Ukraine seeking professional growth and self-employed women seeking new opportunities and collaborations with private companies gathered during the Women’s Entrepreneurship EXPO 2024 satellite event held on 24 October in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The event served as an exclusive space to facilitate interaction, and knowledge exchange, increase visibility for women-led initiatives, foster connections between companies, and forge partnerships between the private sector, government, civil society, and UN Women.

To explore how the state and private sectors can benefit from supporting and engaging women entrepreneurs in their supply chains, including those affected by the full-scale war in Ukraine and women entrepreneurs from vulnerable groups, participants of the satellite event had the chance to showcase their products, services, and experience, attend masterclasses on branding, promotion, business scaling, leadership, and mental wellbeing, and engage in networking sessions to establish business connections.

The Women’s Entrepreneurship Satellite Expo 2024 in Ukraine is organized by UN Women with financial support from Denmark and Sweden in partnership with various government partners, including the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, the Apparatus of the Government Commissioner on Gender Equality Policy, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Digital Transformation. It also collaborates with the private sector, including Ferrexpo and Marie Claire Business. Additionally, the event partners with international partners and civil society organizations.
