Through the forum, the association has identified trading, services and the financial sector as among the business areas for cooperation.
The participants at the three-day forum from Oct 25, had expressed an interest in networking and engaging in business with Malaysian women entrepreneurs.
This was further heightened when the FEM vice-chairman 1, Noridah Ahmad, was invited to receive the "Women Achievement Award" on behalf of Bank Negara Malaysia governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, for her exceptional achievements in the banking sector.
"We are truly honoured and proud of the recognition bestowed on Zeti," Noridah said in a statement here on Monday.
Although the forum was too short for FEM to close any business deals, the 300 participants from the Middle East, Britain, the United States,Canada and Sweden, were nevertheless, impressed with the achievements of Malaysian women entrepreneurs.
For the association, the forum has helped opened doors for a bigger slice of the global market.
The forum offered an educational and networking platform for businesswomen and leaders to set trends, influence, innovate,strategise, devise successful platforms and leverage women's participation in the global business world.
The forum was also aimed at creating an economic roundtable for women leaders and to examine their perspectives on global issues. - BERNAMA
