In an effort to promote entrepreneurship among women, a group of like-minded female entrepreneurs as part of their corporate social responsibility came together in 2006 to establish the national association of women entrepreneurs (NAWE). The goal was simple-to provide a place where women can share their experiences and transfer their knowledge to the next generation of female entrepreneurs. Raising awareness about the role of female entrepreneurship and its contribution to the economic development as a whole was the driving force behind establishing NAWE. One other main factor was to encourage the new female university graduates to consider owning their own business as an option upon graduation.
In order to achieve the goals of the association, specialized committees are created as part of the structure of the association.
The purpose of holding the conferences is to create an atmosphere for exchanging information and opinions of the members of the Women Entrepreneurs Association on various scientific and research topics and to create opportunities to study the community's reactions to that topic and to create social developments in educating and educating female students and women.
