Dubai: Now is the time for Emirati women to enter the highest levels of the business and corporate world, according to Maryam Al Bannai, Emirates Business Woman of the Year.
Al Bannai, vice-president of corporate support services at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), said more than 40 per cent of staff at the centre are women and that more opportunities will be opening up for the community.
"Businesses in the Middle East are increasingly more open to harnessing the skills of Emirati women, and their experience is playing a key role in the growth and expansion of the region," said Al Bannai.
"Women are working alongside men in every area of the business world. The working environment has changed, and there is a positive atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation between employees," she said.
