FWEAN has been running a campaign under the slogan: “Let’s consume domestic products, invest in domestic products, and promote domestic entrepreneurship.” The FWEAN has been organizing the International Women Entrepreneurs Trade Fair consistently for over a decade.
The five-day event will see participation from women entrepreneurs representing FWEAN’s 72 district chapters across Nepal. According to President Gyawali, the fair will feature 144 sales stalls. Two pavilions will be set up, with 58 stalls allocated to women entrepreneurs from district associations and the remaining 82 stalls provided to domestic and international women entrepreneurs.
During the fair, a wide range of products including agricultural goods, handicrafts, food items, international products, service-based goods, and services produced by women entrepreneurs from across Nepal will be showcased and sold. With international women entrepreneurs also participating, visitors will have the chance to learn about the technologies used and marketing approaches adopted by Nepali women entrepreneurs. The program was conducted by FWEAN Secretary Sumitra Palanchoke.
FWEAN has stated that more than 5,500 women entrepreneurs are expected to benefit directly or indirectly from the trade fair. Earlier, in December 2024, FWEAN had organized the "Made in Nepal Expo" in Melbourne, Australia, to promote and market products and services produced by women entrepreneurs.
