RIYADH: Women leaders from the Gulf and Europe gathered in Riyadh on Tuesday for the launch of the Women Impact Leaders EU-GCC platform, a new initiative aimed at strengthening cross-regional cooperation and developing joint initiatives across key sectors.
The Federation of Saudi Chambers of Commerce hosted the launch with support from the EU Delegation to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The platform provides a permanent forum for dialogue and collaboration among women leaders from GCC and EU member states to strengthen cooperation and build strategic partnerships.
Its work is centered on five pillars: Social impact and sustainable development; economic leadership and investment; health, well-being and sport; innovation, education and the digital future; and culture, heritage and the creative industries. Governance, policymaking and empowering future generations are cross-cutting priorities across all areas of the platform’s work.
