WEconnect to organise women entrepreneurs meet in B'luru

 WEconnect International in association with the Karnataka government will organise a two-day event ‘ThinkBig 2016’ on women entrepreneurship on November 14 and 15. 

Speaking at the event, Karnataka Industries Minister R V Deshpande said Karnataka is synonymous with entrepreneurship and progress. “I believe that this is an opportune moment for Karnataka to host ThinkBig 2016, in order to highlight both elements by focusing on women-owned businesses,” he said. 

The two-day event is configured with a view to educate women entrepreneurs, train them with right skills, assess opportunities and connect them with the business eco-system. The event is expected to witness participation of over 4,000 women entrepreneurs from various sectors. It will be held at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.

WEConnect International India executive director Parul Soni said the growth of supply chain diversity of corporate members has increased their ability to procure more from women-owned businesses. “ThinkBig2016 is Asia’s largest women entrepreneur summit,” said Soni.
