This conference is addressing the issue of women entrepreneurship leadership, with the aim of enhancing women economic participation. The conference was a platform for research, studies and successful experiences of women entrepreneurs to enable women achieve greater success.
Though there are many justifications for the selection of this issue, as separate from the economic dimension and sustainable development, we shall focus only on the most important ones
First: the issue of women's entrepreneurship has been recognized, since about 15 years ago, as a significant source of economic growth, but one that is not sufficiently exploited .
Second: by being entrepreneurs, women create jobs for themselves and for others, address economic problems and take advantage of opportunities.
Third: There are many factors in the evolution of women's entrepreneurship that should be addressed politically and economically so that women participate more actively in economic development.
Fourth: Redirecting the efforts of women to the investment sectors that were restricted to them increases the weight of their role in society.
