SYDNEY, Australia (MNTV) – The 2025 Women’s Business Expo, organized by the Sisters Wing of the Islamic Circle of Australia and New Zealand (iCAN) attracted hundreds of women to Auburn Town Hall in Sydney.
The event, themed “Empower. Elevate. Excel,” featured 45 stalls, dynamic speakers, and award ceremonies that honored resilience and innovation.
Dr. Javeria Saeed, Central President of the Sisters Wing, emphasized the importance of women supporting women. “It’s inspiring to see so many women step forward with ambition and purpose,” Dr. Saeed said. “This Expo is about more than business. It’s about building a future where every woman feels seen, supported, and empowered.”
MP Lynda Voltz and Dr. Betty Green, Councillor from Liverpool, delivered talks on business registration, government support schemes, and women’s economic participation.
“The Expo is not just about business; it’s about transformation,” Dr. Green said. “Women lifting other women, building futures, and reshaping communities.”
