Our mission is to connect and develop a global network of successful women business owners through working with international chambers of commerce and women’s business organizations. Headquartered in New York City, The IWEC Foundation’s reach encompasses women who are already in the global marketplace and want to further expand as well as those who are ripe to enter international markets.
Our ecosystem is comprised of over 48 chambers of commerce & women business organizations. We have 501 Past Awardees (we honor awardees every year at our annual conference who were nominated by our partners), who represent women-owned companies from around the globe. The IWEC Foundation’s constituents represent some of the most influential businesswomen from the world’s most important emerging and established regions.
