It is worth mentioning that the forum had highlighted the role of Gulf women in economic development, and the efforts and initiatives of businesswomen in the GCC countries, while addressing the challenges they face as well, in light of the unlimited support that women in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries receive from Gulf leaders, and which contributed to the success of Gulf women The forum sessions also focused on the esteemed position that women have reached in the GCC countries in general, and the businesswomen who enjoy great support from the GCC leaders, which enabled them to achieve great successes; In addition to topics related to investment and economy, creating strategic partnerships between businesswomen in the Gulf countries, and reviewing studies in developing local and Gulf investments for businesswomen.
