Afaemme participated at the 2021 UfM Women Business Forum

The 2021 UfM Women Business Forum under the theme: “Digital transformation for Women in Business in the Euro-Med region: how can digitalization help women-led businesses grow?”, took place online on 6th of July 2021, reaching more than 500 participants that followed us both via our Zoom platform and our Facebook page.
Technological changes, including digitalisation, have been accelerated by the Covid-19 health crisis. Digital transformation presents a major tool for empowering women to enable their inclusion in labour markets, in entrepreneurial and financial activities, particularly with a view on future challenges. However, women in the Euro-Mediterranean region face a persistent gender gap in access and use of digital technologies, in digital skills and in the digital labour market, and face certain online risks when engaging with new technologies. This year, the Women Business Forum will join the international community to further analyze how digitalisation can help empower women as entrepreneurs, traders, workers and professionals as well as discuss the necessary policy measures required to ensure that digitalisation does not leave women behind.
