AWE alumni fair begins

The first-ever fair for Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) alumni in Bangladesh began on the BRAC University campus on Wednesday, reports UNB.
Bren Flanigan, acting Counselor for Public Affairs of the U.S. Embassy, inaugurated the two-day fair.
AWE, a global initiative led by the U.S. Department of State, equips aspiring women entrepreneurs with essential knowledge, professional networks, and foundational materials crucial for launching and scaling up successful businesses.
Thirty-five women entrepreneurs from across Bangladesh, including Sylhet, Khagrachhari, Gaibandha, Chattogram, and Dhaka, are showcasing their innovative products and services at the fair.
This event will provide a unique platform for these entrepreneurs to present their businesses to a diverse audience of visitors, fostering networking and business growth opportunities.
The Center for Entrepreneurship Develop-ment (CED) at BRAC University serves as the AWE Program's local implementing partner.
The AWE Program, a comprehensive three-month course tailored for aspiring women entrepreneurs across the globe, was designed by Arizona State University and the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation.
