The Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC) has launched a new business hub at Al Mamsha in Sharjah to support women entrepreneurs and business owners through networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration opportunities.
The initiative was unveiled during an open gathering organised by the council, in the presence of Sheikha Hind bint Majid Al Qasimi, Chairperson of SBWC, along with board members and business leaders.
The new space is designed to serve as a dedicated hub for women entrepreneurs in Sharjah and the UAE, providing access to services, initiatives, and professional support to strengthen women-led businesses and expand their role in the local economy.
SBWC said that the initiative aims to enhance collaboration among members, support business growth, and improve opportunities for women-led enterprises to scale and strengthen their market presence.
During the event, the council also launched the ‘Haseelah’ initiative, an interactive platform designed to connect women entrepreneurs with experts, business leaders, and industry professionals from the UAE and abroad.
The platform aims to provide mentorship support, facilitate knowledge sharing, expand professional networks, and improve access to services and institutions that support business development and long-term sustainability.

“Many entrepreneurs and business owners have strong ideas, but the challenge is turning those ideas into sustainable businesses. This space is designed to help businesswomen connect, exchange experiences, and access practical knowledge to support clearer, more confident decision-making. We believe collaboration plays an important role in helping women-led businesses grow. By creating a supportive professional environment, we aim to strengthen connections between entrepreneurs and support the wider presence of women-led businesses in the local economy.”
The event also included an interactive workshop where participants reviewed their business ideas from a practical perspective, focusing on clarity of concept, target audience, value proposition, and next steps for development.
The workshop included group discussions, practical exercises, and scenario-based activities aimed at helping participants translate ideas into structured plans.
These included identifying priorities, required resources, strengths, and gaps that need to be addressed before launching or scaling their businesses.
