The Women in Manufacturing programme, which was launched by KAM in 2017, seeks to improve market access for women industrialists, create a supportive environment, and bolster their competitiveness locally and globally.
The programme supports women-owned and led businesses as well as women working in manufacturing and young girls who want to pursue careers in STEM.
