AHK Iraq Business Women Executive Roundtable | Women in Professional Services: From Expertise to Enterprise

Professional and business services play an important role in supporting companies through specialised expertise, advisory services, and operational solutions. For women entrepreneurs in this sector, transforming individual expertise into a sustainable business requires effective client development, structured operations, team management, and a clear market position.

On March 11, 2027, AHK Iraq will host “Women in Professional Services: From Expertise to Enterprise”, an Executive Roundtable under its Business Women Empowerment initiative.

The roundtable will provide a platform for women entrepreneurs and executives in professional services to exchange experiences, discuss business development challenges, and explore practical strategies for growing advisory and service-based enterprises.

Through a focused, interactive discussion, participants will examine approaches to attracting and retaining clients, developing professional teams, marketing specialised services, and building businesses that can grow beyond the expertise of their founders.
