IWEC Foundation International Women's Entrepreneurial Challenge

Helping Spread Our Mission on Five Continents

The IWEC Foundation was established by the Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona, Spain, in collaboration with the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry Ladies Organization (FICCI/FLO), with support from the U.S. State Department. Over the years, IWEC has continued to expand by welcoming new partners, building a strong global network that now spans five continents. Each year, the Annual IWEC Foundation Conference is hosted or co-hosted by a different Chamber partner, strengthening international collaboration and shared impact.
