Our solutions

01

Join the sisterhood of success! Pathway is a powerful 12-week board accelerator. Limited time? No problem. Pathway skyrockets busy executive’s board careers with 40 hours of expert-led training and a corporate governance diploma. Think of it as the boardroom launchpad for influential GCC women.

02

NOORA is a real-world community of talented, cross-industry corporate women. Our members range from first-time managers to seasoned leaders. These rising stars convene to support each other’s growth and professional success. The result: personal and corporate legacies. NOORA offers transformative workshops, high-powered networking and an online hub.

03

The Summit is more than an event. It is a convergence of change-makers: from regional and global leaders to government ministers and top executives. A space to explore emerging trends, to advance the DEI agenda and disrupt the status quo. The Summit is the region’s forum for transformation and lasting impact through diversity and inclusion.

04

We have set out to fix AI’s gender bias using AI itself. We have created a vast image bank of women in various professions, to teach AI that women can be engineers, mathematicians, CEOs and more. All of our images are royalty- and rights-free, and we encourage you to download and use them on the internet so AI can recognise diversity.
