The Creative Women Forum Saudi Arabia 2025 will be held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from November 4 to 6, 2025.
Women leaders, innovators, policymakers, and businesswomen from all over the world will gather in a space that is hosted under the patronage of HRH Princess Noura bint Saud bin Nayef Al Saud, creating possibilities for Indian businesses and organisations to consider attending an international forum on women's empowerment, engagement of women on an intercontinental mayoral platform, international business and trade, and women in leadership.
The Forum will also be a collaborative catalyst and engaging women innovators, women entrepreneurs, and women policymakers working in their organizations and communities to connect - to engage - to energize - to inspire (beyond a traditional conference).
It will be on the Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University campus (the largest university for women in the world) and contextually plausible, demonstrating to the world the role of Saudi Arabia in progressing gender equality, within the project of economic diversification, particularly as it aligns with Vision 2030.
India is placed as a strategic ally to this effort - securing exposure to business and business executives to Saudi Arabian commerce and investment opportunities in the wider GCC, opening up room for Indian business and business executives to stake out positioning and express leadership in gender inclusion in the context of sustainability and innovation, and winning globally visible sponsorships or exhibitor positions with a common goal of promoting women in business, foreign policy, and leadership.
The Forum will host 70+ international speakers from business, government, and cultural fields, and 500+ delegates from more than 30 nations. The event has keynotes, panels, workshops on sustainability, leadership, and empowerment, and a Young Entrepreneurs & Students Programme.
The leadership group behind the Forum consists of patron HRH Princess Noura bint, Olga Balakleets, CEO and Founder of Creative Women Platform, and Rebeca Riofrio, Executive Director for the Saudi edition.
Olga Balakleets emphasized the initiative's aim of building impactful collaboration between Saudi and global leaders.
