Wrapping up hashtag !
Have you ever had the feeling that you can't decide which panel to go with because they are all at once?
Happened on the last day. So I did panel hopping.
Starting with a great topic about "Empowering Inclusive Global Trade with AI".
It is always a privilege to listen to one of my favourite speakers and an expert in this field, Dr. Sandy Chong
One of the critical challenges discussed was the digital divide, which often prevents SMEs from acquiring the necessary technology or knowledge of Free Trade Agreements to truly expand their business.
Knowledge is power.
How would you like to overcome the gap? With constant learning and capacity building.
One of the Pillars of Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT).
Hopping to the next session, right next door, which IMMIB - Istanbul Minerals and Metals Exporters Association has organized, a Turkish-based organization facilitated by the esteemed Ayşegül Şahinoğlu Yerdeş, Deputy Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of Türkiye to WTO, was a proud moment for me.
The topic concerns transforming this industry to be more sustainable and greener.
There is still a long way to go; however, it all starts with raising awareness and putting it on the table. I enjoyed listening to two of our Turkish Speakers, Yavuz Arkun, and Bulent Hacioglu.
3 days were well spent with reviving connections, building new ones, learning, and listening.
I always feel energized after these types of forums. You might think it is tiring.
Well, it is an effort for sure; at the same time, energy brings energy.
And participating in forums in town is important, specifically global ones.
You gain different perspectives and follow trends and topics that come in handy.
Knowledge is power.
Are there any forums you always take advantage of?
