Key Quotes:

Radhika Shetty, President of eMERG:

  • “The future of entrepreneurship is inclusive. FLLN 9.0 is not just an event—it’s a movement to equip women with the tools to lead and scale.”

Dr. Warin Ratchananuosorn, DEPA (Thailand):

Q&A Segment:

Q: *Why is FLLN 9.0 focusing on cross-border business expansion?*
A: “Because the next wave of growth is international. Many women-led startups have innovative solutions but lack exposure to global markets. We’re bridging that gap.”

Q: What’s the biggest challenge women entrepreneurs face today?
A: “Access to networks and funding. Many brilliant ideas don’t scale due to limited mentorship and investor connections. FLLN changes that.”

Q: How can policymakers further support women in business?
A: “Simpler regulations, dedicated funding schemes, and stronger incubation programs will accelerate women-led startups. Events like this push those conversations forward.”
