Veeno Sharma Launches 6-Day Accelerator for Women Entrepreneurs

Veeno Sharma, UK serial entrepreneur and Founder and President of The Power Diaspora Forum (TPDF), has announced the launch of ‘She Leads With AI,’ a 6-day accelerator program in collaboration with the Dubai Government, designed specifically for 30 women entrepreneurs. 

This partnership offers a strategic opportunity for market access, as the Gulf Corridor increasingly develops its technology sector and serves as a bridge between Asia, Europe, and Africa. Set to be hosted at the Dubai AI Campus within the Dubai International Financial Centre Innovation Hub, the accelerator is open to female founders worldwide and is offered without any fee commitment.

This follows the TPDF Women in Power Geneva roundtable at the United Nations, Geneva, which convened women leaders across politics and diplomacy.

Scheduled to kick off on November 16, the accelerator will focus on key areas such as AI integration for scaling operations, preparing for investor readiness, and exploring global business pathways, wrapping up with an investor showcase on November 23.
