A new era is upon us! The winds of change are wiping away all the blockages and gender-based stereotypes, reshaping the face of business and technology as we know it.
We at Garage48 have always been strong supporters of this trend, having witnessed and followed more than a few new female leaders being born out of our hackathons. In fact, some of our most successful hackathons have been EMPOWERING WOMEN series with companies like Timbeteer and Vitalfields starting their journeys from there.
On December 10-12, Garage48 is coming to Afghanistan for the very first time, to encourage even more women to sculpt their own future and choose the entrepreneurial path!
Afghan women are among the most resilient ones in the world since they work against multiple odds and challenges constantly in their everyday lives.
There are more than 1150, small and medium-sized, female-owned enterprises active in different sectors across Afghanistan and the number is constantly growing. According to the statistics, approximately 300 women entrepreneurs started their businesses last year alone. Many of the female-owned companies have grown out of the country’s borders and are now exporting their products to various parts of the world.
