RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) will organize a two-day Women’s Business and Lifestyle Expo on October 21–22 at Chamber House to promote women-led businesses and provide entrepreneurs with opportunities to showcase their products, expand market access and explore new business prospects.

RCCI President Nosherwan Khalil Khan said the exhibition would feature women entrepreneurs from various sectors, including clothing and fashion, home décor, beauty and skincare, jewellery, gemstones, boutiques, herbal products and handicrafts.

He said the previous edition of the expo had received an encouraging response, with a large number of visitors showing interest in products offered by women entrepreneurs. In view of the success of last year’s event, the chamber has extended the exhibition to two days this year to provide participating businesses with greater exposure and more opportunities to reach potential customers.

Highlighting the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Nosherwan Khalil Khan said they were the backbone of the economy. He added that the expo aimed to support women entrepreneurs, particularly those operating home-based businesses, by facilitating brand promotion, market access and business development.

Expo Chairperson Naila Tasadduq said more than 30 stalls would be established at the event, showcasing a wide range of products and services offered by women-led businesses.

She said the exhibition would also provide opportunities for networking, collaboration and business growth, enabling women entrepreneurs to expand their customer base and strengthen their market presence.
