Arabian Women Exhibition Kicks Off With Broad Participation of Women Entrepreneurs

The 13th edition of the Arabian Women Exhibition kicked off Saturday, featuring 200 local and international booths, and will run until October 2 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).

The exhibition, held under the patronage of the Qatari Businesswomen Forum at Qatar Chamber, features a wide participation of Qatari businesswomen, alongside exhibitors from Gulf states, Morocco, Jordan, Turkiye, and Lebanon. It provides an important platform to showcase the latest fashion trends for Fall/Winter 2025.

The opening ceremony was attended by Noura al-Awlan, director of the Research and Studies Department at Qatar Chamber; Tamader al-Marri, director of Vogue Events, the exhibition’s organiser; and a large number of Qatari businesswomen and entrepreneurs.

Ibtihaj al-Ahmadani, Qatar Chamber board member and chairwoman of the Qatari Businesswomen Forum, highlighted the significant development the exhibition has witnessed across its previous editions in terms of organisation, exhibits, and participating entities.

She noted that it serves as a distinguished platform to spotlight the creativity and projects of Arab and Qatari businesswomen and reflects the growing role of women in supporting economic development and fostering innovation in society.

Al-Ahmadani further stressed Qatar Chamber’s commitment to supporting women’s participation in various economic and commercial activities, enabling them to contribute effectively to driving development. 

She pointed out that the exhibition reflects the chamber’s dedication to strengthening the role of Qatari and Arab women in entrepreneurship and expanding their regional and international networks.

She emphasised that the exhibition represents a valuable opportunity for businesswomen to connect, explore new areas of cooperation and investment partnerships, and enhance women’s contribution to the private sector and economic diversification.

Al-Ahmadani urged participants to seize this opportunity not only to showcase their products and services but also to exchange expertise and build partnerships that reinforce Arab women’s presence on the global business map.

Al-Marri added: “We are delighted to organise the Arabian Women Exhibition, which serves as a leading platform that brings together Qatari and Arab businesswomen and creatives under one roof, to highlight their achievements and enhance their contribution to economic and social development.”

She noted that the exhibition presents the latest designs in fashion, accessories, and women’s supplies, particularly those for Fall/Winter 2025. She praised the support of Qatar Chamber and all partners for this event, which reflects their belief in the pivotal role of women in leading successful projects and contributing to economic diversification.

Al-Marri expressed her hope that the exhibition would offer an exceptional experience for participants, enabling them to showcase their innovations and products while opening promising opportunities for visitors and investors to cooperate and expand across various sectors.
