The Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council (ADBC) has launched a collaboration with ETHER by Cloud Spaces, a renowned retail business platform, to encourage more women to enter the retail market with their unique ideas.

This alliance will help women-owned businesses get easier access to the retail sector. The collaboration provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for female entrepreneurs to present their goods at ETHER, giving them the best chance of success.

It seeks to foster a friendly and caring atmosphere in which female entrepreneurs may thrive in the business world. ETHER by Cloud Spaces and the ADBC are collaborating to support development and success for ambitious women entrepreneurs by providing a forum for women-owned enterprises to display their products. This collaboration also supports the Abu Dhabi government's aim of nurturing and developing the local start-up ecosystem.

Providing opportunities for women

ADBC, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has been essential in increasing women's contributions to the Emirate's long-term economic growth. Their dedication to advancing women in business and investing has immensely influenced future generations of ambitious entrepreneurs.

"We are thrilled to join forces with the Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council in our mission to empower Emirati women entrepreneurs," stated Malak Smejkalova, Senior Director - Cloud Spaces Innovation. "We hope to facilitate women-owned start-ups' entry into the market and support their journey to success by providing access to retail opportunities through our platform."

The collaboration comprises a number of initiatives aimed at assisting women-owned businesses. The Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council will give assistance, coaching, and advice to allow their seamless entry into the retail sector, while ETHER by Cloud Spaces will provide a specialised platform for these entrepreneurs to promote their products.

Brands that helped

Among the businesses endorsed by the ETHER council are Mimosa Beauty Lounge, Orosa Official, Shaksy, Flow Fit Activewear, Be Spoke Atelier, and Deine.

"We are proud to forge this strategic partnership with ETHER by Cloud Spaces, aimed at empowering Emirati women entrepreneurs and encouraging them to bring forth their innovative concepts into the retail space," ADBC Director Fatma Helal said.

"Through this collaboration, we hope to provide a supportive platform for women-owned start-ups to showcase their products, fostering their growth and success in business and contributing to the Emirate's long-term economic development."

ADBC, like ETHER, believes in creating an entrepreneurial culture and encouraging ambitious women to start initiatives and build their enterprises in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
