WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT:

 

WOMEN IN BUSINESS

 
 
 
 
 

 

Following Israel and the UAE's peace agreement in the summer, opportunities for business are firmly on the horizon. From tech to the diamond industry, possibilities abound. But, we're not going to run before we can walk – we are, however, having engaging conversations and encounters in the Gulf Israeli Women's Group, Women in Business and Women on Boards. It's been a slew of successful meet-ups. You can just imagine the synergies of the mind! Read more about what we are getting up to on that, below.


In light of current political activities, research on the countries with the most women in parliament seems like apt information you want to know right now. Likewise, with the turning tables of tech (welcome iPhone 12 Pro), we are sure you want to know how long Apple supports its older iPhone models? Statista reveals all...


Onwards and upwards to the next week. And while you're upwards, gawk up at Mount Bromo in the Outlook section with us. She's a beaut...

GULF ISRAEL WOMEN'S LUNCH - DUKES DUBAI

 

Since the UAE and Israel normalized relations over the summer, a number of bi-lateral forums have been formed for relationship building. We are proud to be part of these historic moves as members of the Gulf-Israel Women’s Group. Through face-to-face conversation and high level introductions, we are on the frontlines of cross-cultural exchange, and are excited to see change-making work come into fruition. If there were ever a time to use this phrase, it's now. Watch this space!

WOMEN IN BUSINESS -
THE CAPITAL CLUB

 

Our Managing Director, Leah Tedrow was at the Capital Club, Dubai with a delegation from JVP Israel and the extraordinary women leading the VC charge in the UAE and beyond. Building new bridges in these historic times. “It's an extraordinary meeting of incredibly smart and seriously substantive women," as Leah said.

WOMEN ON BOARDS

 

And again, Leah attended a much needed discussion at The Capital Club, ‘Women on Boards’ and how to encourage the corporate world to be more inclusive of women on boards and how women should be pursuing these positions. Guest Speaker, Jane Valls, Executive Director of BDI GCC Board Directors Institute spoke about women breaking the glass ceiling but with a sticky floor. With women only representing 20% of board seats globally it’s a worthy discussion that needs to be elevated and heard.

OUR DIVERSIONS

 

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.
