Additionally, the initiative aims to strengthen partnerships between the SCW and civil society organisations, enhance women's economic empowerment in line with the National Plan for the Advancement of Bahraini Women, and showcase successful entrepreneurial ventures led by young women. The initiative also seeks to highlight emerging investment sectors within the Kingdom. A committee composed of six experts in entrepreneurship will oversee the implementation of the initiative.
