The Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC) and the Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) have launched a platform available to women entrepreneurs, aimed at accelerating processes such as applications, permits, visas and licences.

This ‘single-window’ service, available exclusively to women, is in line with the directives of Her Highness Jawaher Bint Mohammad Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah and chairperson of NAMA, to provide a women-friendly business environment in Sharjah.

It follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in October, aimed at strengthening mutual cooperation between the two parties to support women looking to enter into business.
