The second day will feature a series of panel sessions covering essential topics relevant to Gulf businesswomen. One of the highlighted sessions, titled “Gulf Businesswomen and Sustainable Investment,” will examine the current state of investments by Gulf women and future development prospects.

Another session, “Gulf Women Entrepreneurs: From Tradition to Innovation,” will focus on empowering women within the digital economy and fostering innovative business models. The forum will conclude with a session on “Arbitration in Enhancing the Gulf Women’s Business Environment,” which aims to underscore the pivotal role of arbitration in safeguarding investments made by Gulf businesswomen.
