A forward-looking partnership
The ATC is proud to announce a new partnership with WEConnect International, a global network of women-owned businesses enabling commercial collaboration, building sustainable prosperity, and connecting women-owned SMEs with some of the world’s largest corporate buyers.
WEConnect International drives sustainability, diversity and inclusion agendas, and fosters global networks of inspirational and inspiring women leaders.
Globally, women make or influence over 85% of consumer purchasing decisions, and own 33% of all privately-owned business – but women-owned businesses earn less than 1% of corporate and government spend globally.
In the WEConnect International network of SMEs and corporate buyers, trade is a powerful tool for achieving gender equality. Trade is one area where governments, businesses, and international organizations can collectively advance an agenda of diversity and inclusion which can help unleash the potential of half of the world’s population. WEConnect International helps drive money into the hands of women business owners by enabling them to compete in the global marketplace.
