It all started in the mid-nineties when four expatriate ladies, who often lunched together, decided to form a group to provide a much-needed forum for businesswomen in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The group would be named the International Business Women’s Group and its aim would be to promote the empowerment of businesswomen professionally and socially. And so began the journey, with the formation of a committee to oversee the group’s affairs and build membership.

Today, the IBWG in Abu Dhabi, is a stand-alone private non-profit association with over 200 members from all nationalities and professional fields. Although those in management positions and entrepreneurs represent the group, the IBWG is open to all professional ladies who share the goals and ambitions of the group.
The objective of the IBWG is to offer businesswomen an informal setting for networking and to allow like-minded women a chance to identify, discuss and pursue common interests regarding business activities in the United Arab Emirates. While there are other business groups operating in the country, these are in the main male dominated. Until the formation of the IBWG there was no true forum that addressed the needs and interests of women within the commercial and business sectors of the UAE.
