About The Council

Our focus is on “Empowering Fiji’s Women Entrepreneurs, driving success with passion and innovation!

Established in 2013, the Women Entrepreneurs Business Council (WEBC) arose with a clear mission: safeguarding the rights and amplifying the voices of women in business, mainly those operating in the informal sector in Fiji. Over the years, WEBC has experienced remarkable growth in both its membership and offerings, providing invaluable support and inclusive platforms for the development of women entrepreneurs. WEBC’s vision is “women entrepreneurs invigorating the nation”.
