An increasing number of women in the MENA region are demonstrating their business acumen and proving their ability as highly capable entrepreneurs, while at the same time efficiently managing their family commitments. I would like to dedicate this award to all women in the region who have made a positive contribution to the socioeconomic development of the Arab world.”
