Al-Rizaiza stated that women have become an essential part of the kingdom's progress, making significant contributions across various sectors.

The forum promises to be a landmark event, bringing together a wide range of experts, entrepreneurs, and leaders to share knowledge, explore opportunities, and celebrate the accomplishments of Saudi women in business.
