The Association for Nigerian Women Business Network (ANWBN), a coalition of over fifty different women associations focused on business and career development of its members will be hosting the first ever Nigerian Women Business Virtual Summit (NWBS 200) and we are here for it!

The Nigerian Women Business Summit (NWBS) 2020 is a three-day virtual event, which will hold from 29thSeptember – 1st October 2020 and is open to Nigerian women across the world.

The theme for this Summit is ‘From Fear to Hope: Scaling Women Business Impact for a Decade of Action’. It will feature a virtual exhibition, B2B workshops, the launch of the Women National Business Agenda and a Women Business Empowerment fund.

ANWBN serves as the apex (private sector) body committed to mitigating the challenges faced by women pursuing business and career growth and has a combined membership of over four million (4,000,000) women entrepreneurs.

In 2016, ANWBN published the first edition of the Women National Business Agenda a vital tool that served to identify laws and regulations that hinder business activity of women and also offer concrete recommendations and reforms to remove these barriers and improve the business climate. Since the initial study, several changes have taken place within the women business community as well as the socio-economic and socio-political environments across Nigeria. Furthermore, the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the unprecedented global response it necessitated has required further revision of the WNBA which will be unveiled at the summit.
