FIEO inaugurates SheTrades India Hub to empower women entrepreneurs and enhance global trade
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has launched the SheTrades India Hub, a significant initiative aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs and strengthening India’s export ecosystem. This endeavour, in collaboration with the International Trade Centre (ITC) and funded by the UK Government’s SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme, positions FIEO as the host institution for the 20th SheTrades Hub globally.
The SheTrades India Hub will serve as a comprehensive resource centre for women-led businesses across the nation, offering capacity-building workshops, mentoring sessions, business matchmaking events and policy advocacy. These services aim to support women entrepreneurs in accessing international markets, finance and business development opportunities, thereby addressing challenges such as limited access to resources and markets.
In conjunction with the launch, the SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme will organise a “Training of Trainers” session on branding and digital marketing on March 17-18, 2025, followed by a training session for women-led businesses on March 19-20 in New Delhi. These sessions aim to equip women entrepreneurs with essential skills to enhance their international market presence.
The establishment of the SheTrades India Hub marks a significant step toward creating an inclusive, sustainable and gender-equal trade environment, empowering women entrepreneurs to make meaningful contributions to global trade and India’s economic growth, as per a release.
