SWBC and Packman Portal partner to provide complimentary 1,000 e-commerce stores, training and technical support
The Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC) has launched an initiative to establish 1,000 e-commerce stores for its eligible members in partnership with Packman Portal.
The one-year initiative, valued at AED 3.6mn aims to help women-owned businesses strengthen their online presence and expand their reach to wider markets.
Each participating member will receive a fully integrated online store valued at AED 3,600 annually. Every store will include a dedicated website, a payment gateway, a product management system, an administrative dashboard, customisable design features, practical training, and ongoing technical support, enabling businesswomen to launch or strengthen their digital operations and enhance their competitiveness.
The initiative was unveiled during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) by Maryam Bin Al Shaikh, Director of SBWC, and Mohamed Al Rashed, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Packman Portal.
Complimentary service
Under the agreement, participating businesses that receive at least 365 customer orders during their first year will qualify for a second year of complimentary service.
“When women-led businesses become more digitally competitive, they strengthen not only their own enterprises, but also Sharjah’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and the UAE’s broader digital economy,” asserted Maryam Bin Al Shaikh.
“Through our partnerships with SBWC, we are taking another step toward our vision of empowering entrepreneurs across the UAE first, then the region, and ultimately the world,” added Abdulaziz Almulhem, CEO & Founder, Packman Portal.
