Women entrepreneurs in the country stand a better chance of excelling in business if they are confident and innovative.This was said by the Dare to Dream Foundation Chief Executive Officer Emelda Mwamanga during the 5th Vodacom Economic Women conference and Business Expo held in Dar es Salaam at the weekend.
She told a one-day seminar that today's business world is competitive and women entrepreneurs can withstand the existing competition if they are confident and innovative on what they are doing.
The seminar was intended to bring the women entrepreneurs together so that they get the chance to learn from each other, networking and share experiences.
This year's conference theme is 'Business Beyond Tomorrow Day'. It inspires women entrepreneurs to build businesses that will last for many years.
According to Mwamanga, the conference targeted all women including emerging female entrepreneurs who are operating their own small and medium sized businesses.
CRDB Bank marketing officer Emmanuel Kiondo said his bank was aware of women’s contribution to the national economy and that was why it did not hesitate to sponsor the conference to build their capacity under its corporate social responsibility scheme.
"CRDB Bank is committed to seeing women entrepreneurs grow to big business people. We have a special account known as Malkia Account to fulfill their different dreams," he said.
Alice Lewis from Vodacom said her company was aware of the importance of empowering women and the decision to sponsor the conference was one of its commitments in supporting women empowerment.
