WECON 2024: MUMKIN HAI

Aligning Entrepreneurial Goals with the Digital Economy in Pakistan

Our startup ecosystem is growing thanks to leading organisations and individuals performing stellar work in enabling women entrepreneurs and transforming their future despite the numerous socio-cultural, structural and institutional challenges. These are the individuals and organisations who made things possible for aspiring women entrepreneurs through their policies, practices and initiatives. Hence it is imperative to recognize their groundbreaking work as well as bring them under the same roof to a platform where these efforts can be combined to amplify impact all while learning from each other’s failures and sharing knowledge and resources. WECON is exactly that platform.

Such conferences are a great platform to inspire people because there are so many people doing amazing work in different fields but a lot of times people don’t get to know about those things
