Who we are

At the Global Women Forum (GWF), we believe that success in any industry requires not only professional expertise but also a deep understanding of the cultures where we operate. That’s why our mission extends beyond leadership development - we are dedicated to equipping women and youth with the skills needed for the future, particularly in emerging sectors such as energy, STEM, AI, and the digital world.

Founded by the EITEP Institute to address the underrepresentation of women in these sectors,  GWF has evolved into a platform that fosters inclusion, youth engagement, and cross-industry collaboration.
With a strong focus on bridging the Arab world to global opportunities, we develop initiatives that empower the next generation, build competencies, and drive innovation across borders.
