Gulf News and BeingShe launch She Means Business

Gulf News and BeingShe are collaborating to launch She Means Business on October 23, 2026, an event aimed at bringing together prominent women entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and changemakers in the UAE. This platform celebrates their achievements while focusing on the future, highlighting those who are building companies, leading organizations, disrupting industries, and contributing to the rapidly changing business scene.

The initiative combines the reach of Gulf News with BeingShe's mission to empower women through increased visibility, stronger networks, and meaningful opportunities.

Central to She Means Business are the stories and experiences of women making significant impacts across various sectors. The event will include panel discussions and conversations with business leaders and entrepreneurs, exploring the opportunities, challenges, and ideas shaping women in business today. Topics range from entrepreneurship and leadership to innovation, growth, and building successful brands, providing valuable insights based on real-life experiences.

Networking will be a key component, connecting entrepreneurs, executives, industry experts, and professionals in an atmosphere fostering discussions that could lead to collaborations and new business opportunities.

The event will extend beyond the stage through the She Means Business magazine, a publication produced in partnership with Gulf News. This magazine will feature inspiring stories of women from the UAE's business community, with several of these women also participating as speakers and panelists. By offering stories and perspectives through print, digital, and live formats, the magazine allows their contributions to reach diverse audiences, supported by the reputable Gulf News media presence.

This approach enables entrepreneurs and business leaders to expand their narratives beyond mere success stories, engaging in broader conversations about leadership, ambition, and the evolving business landscape in the UAE.

In a time when women are increasingly visible in the UAE's entrepreneurial and corporate realms, She Means Business offers a platform for established leaders to share experiences and perspectives, while entrepreneurs gain new avenues for visibility and connection. For those at earlier stages of their careers, the event provides access to ideas and insights that can inspire their next steps.

Ultimately, She Means Business aims to unite these diverse journeys—celebrating the progress women have made in business while fostering ongoing discussions about the future. On October 23, the focus will be on women with innovative ideas, ambitious visions, and businesses poised to shape the future.
