ICTs offer women entrepreneurs new opportunities to strengthen their businesses. Through mobile phones, electronic platforms, radio, TV, blogs and the Internet, women entrepreneurs are reaching out to customers and building their businesses in ways they could not do before. Effective use of ICTs is helping women entrepreneurs in developing countries and developed countries to overcome several barriers.
This lunch time talk will feature the following four women entrepreneurs visiting Geneva for the World Summit for Information Society Forum 2013 as part of the ILO/UNCTAD Project on Leveraging ICTs in Support of Women's Entrepreneurship. They will speak on how ICTs are being used to enable them to build their businesses and the challenges and opportunities which women entrepreneurs face in using ICTs in their countries.
