DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 12th Sep, 2025) The 28th Universal

Postal Congress – Dubai 2025, hosted by the UAE, brings together delegates from over 192 member
countries of the Universal Postal Union to shape the future of the global postal sector.

Central to its agenda is bridging the gap for women entrepreneurs by enabling their access to global
trade networks, advanced digital infrastructure, and inclusive financial services.

These conversations come at a pivotal moment, as women-owned businesses are emerging as a vital
force in the global e-commerce market. By leveraging the postal sector’s unmatched reach across
logistics, digital, and financial services, the Congress aims to identify actionable strategies that

empower women entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and play a stronger role in the global
economy.

Women entrepreneurs in the UAE are experiencing significant growth, supported by progressive
policies and initiatives that empower female-led enterprises, in line with the National Policy for
Empowerment of Emirati Women 2023-2031. Today, Emirati women own more than 128,500 small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) and oversee over 135,000 projects across the country.Meanwhile,
businesswomen in the UAE make up 18 percent of all entrepreneurs.

Tariq Ahmed Al Wahedi, the 28th Congress Chair and Group CEO of 7X, said, “Hosting the Universal
Postal Congress in Dubai reflects the UAE’s enduring commitment to innovation, sustainability, and

global cooperation. We believe that a truly connected world - built on advanced infrastructure and
forward-thinking policies - is one where communities are empowered, economies thrive, and
opportunities are limitless.

The Congress’s focus on women-led entrepreneurship is both significant and necessary, and it aligns
with the UAE’s broader vision for sustainable development, gender equality, and inclusive growth. By
convening global leaders in the UAE, we aim to create actionable strategies that strengthen the role of

the postal sector as a driver of opportunity, particularly for women entrepreneurs.”
