जैसा 1टीपी2टी economies seek to deepen economic integration and expand intra-group trade, women-led enterprises represent a powerful yet under-leveraged driver of growth, innovation, and cross-border collaboration.
Women-led businesses across BRICS are increasingly present in sectors such as manufacturing, services, digital economy, agribusiness, and creative industries. However, their participation in cross-border trade and investment remains constrained by limited market access, financing gaps, regulatory barriers, and weaker integration into global and regional value chains.
This session will bring together entrepreneurs from BRICS countries to explore how women-led enterprises can be better integrated into intra-BRICS trade and economic partnerships. Discussions will focus on enabling greater market access, strengthening cross-border value chains, facilitating access to finance and digital platforms, and leveraging institutional mechanisms such as the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance to promote collaboration and co-creation.
