The meeting was chaired by Dr. Amna Khalifa Al Ali, AJBWC's Chairwoman, and attended by the members of the AJBWC's Board and employees at the AJBWC's headquarters. At the outset, Dr. Khalifa welcomed the members and emphasized that the Ajman Chamber’s continued support for the AJBWC’s initiatives and projects plays a key role in advancing women entrepreneurs' ventures and businesses. She commended the AJBWC’s partners for their contributions to developing women’s investments and enhancing the success of their projects.

Furthermore, the meeting addressed the adoption of the minutes from the third meeting of the AJBWC in 2024 and presented a report on the AJBWC’s achievements during the previous period, including "Bidayat License" and AJBWC membership. The report highlighted the initiatives and workshops implemented by the AJBWC to achieve its goals and support members in upgrading their projects and developing their businesses. Notably, in the last quarter of this year, the AJBWC launched the "Ryouqi (My Breakfast)" initiative and the "Rufof" initiative, which were distributed to six sustainable outlets to market products from women business owners who are members of the AJBWC. Furthermore, the AJBWC showcased its efforts in advancing home farming projects, with a focus on empowering members to invest in agriculture. This was particularly demonstrated through the implementation of the cooled plastic greenhouses projects within the "Plant and Reap" initiative, with support from the Ajman Chamber.

She emphasized that the AJBWC’s goal for 2025 is to implement the consultive "360° Forum", which will feature awareness dialogue sessions to introduce the guiding principles of Ajman Vision and link them to entrepreneurship, economy, education, sports, culture, and entertainment. The forum will also include a series of exhibitions and accompanying events. Moreover, the "Talaqi" program will organize a number of specialized forums in cooperation with the AJBWC’s partners from government and private entities.
