The ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs’ Network (“AWEN”), founded in 2014, is a regional network of women’s organizations or coalitions of women’s organisations, representing women in all economic sectors in the ASEAN Member States.

AWEN Laos serves as the official national representative within the regional AWEN network. It is composed of women business leaders committed to enhancing the role of Lao women entrepreneurs at both national and ASEAN levels. AWEN Laos acts as a bridge, ensuring Lao voices are heard in regional dialogues while bringing valuable opportunities home.

Our national chapter is led by four appointed focal points who coordinate with the regional AWEN Secretariat and engage with Lao stakeholders.

This project is part of a broader initiative to organise business visits among ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs Network (AWEN) member countries.

This visit marks the beginning of a larger effort to strengthen connections among AWEN member countries.
