Women to Women Networks

IBI facilitates the creation of women to women networks, especially among women-owned businesses, to share concerns and solutions. The networks are effective at identifying opportunities that were thought to be out of reach, such as trade beyond one’s own borders. They also allow for knowledge sharing on social issues of particular concern to women.
