Thank you @LeadingLadiesAF for recognizing our work @awieforum. We will continue to drive the change and break down the barriers.
You cannot transform an economy while leaving its women out of the equation.💯
For Irene Ochem(@ireneochem), founder of the AWIEF, the inclusion of women is not a nice addition to Africa’s economic agenda. It is fundamental to it.👌🏾

See the graceful @ireneochem, Founder and CEO, Africa Women Innovation & Entrepreneurship Forum (@awieforum), on the front cover of the October 2024 issue of Financial Nigeria magazine – Africa’s premier development and finance journal. Her interview will be shared here next week.
Irene is tireless in championing the empowerment of African women entrepreneurs. Her vision and work take the advocacy for gender equity beyond the social realm. She asserts that women are economic agents, more so in Africa.
Registration is still ongoing for the AWIEF 2024 Conference and Expo, which comes up on 28 – 29 November, in Cape Town, South Africa.
