Overview

The Women's Business Initiative International (WBII) is a community of women business owners sharing knowledge and experience to learn and grow together. WHAT WE DO We empower members to achieve their business goals through three channels: 1. Community Building Running a business can feel lonely and isolating at times. By gathering an International community of female-led businesses, we offer an inspiring space to connect and collaborate with others who understand the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship. We form a community of colleagues who learn and grow together. 2. Masterminds and Peer Support Our Mastermind Groups provide an extra boost and dedicated working circle for members. These groups offer a unique opportunity to get valuable feedback on your latest projects and ideas, drawing from the collective wisdom of a group of like-minded women. The WBII Skill Shares are another way we support each other on a variety of topics related to our businesses. 3. Events and Social Activities Our regular monthly events are a great opportunity to connect as well as increase our business knowledge around key topics relevant to both beginners and seasoned business owners. Each year the WBII designates a theme to focus our attention and events around. IMPACT is the theme for 2023. Our in-person and online events are open to both members and non-members. During the year, we also host occasional events to simply connect and gather socially. The WBII is based in The Hague but includes members from around the Netherlands. We are a women-only association with an inclusive definition of women, including trans women and any others who identify as a woman in a way that is significant to them. Since its establishment in 2006 as a Dutch not for profit foundation, close to 1000 women entrepreneurs from 30+ countries have actively participated in and benefited from this initiative.
