Women’s Chamber of Commerce Launches Business Certification

The U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce (USWCC) is extending its outreach and economic development efforts to the international business community with the launch of the USWCC Women’s Global Network and the first international certification for women-owned businesses.

The network provides women business owners in the United States and around the world with access to
the growing global diversity supply chain. The USWCC International Women’s Business Enterprise (IWBE) certification is provided to women-owned firms poised to grow their businesses with global reach and capacity.

USWCC supports reciprocity in certification. Women-owned business previously certified by other recognized providers will be able to apply for a USWCC IWBET certification through a streamlined process. USWCC IWBET certifications are available to valid corporate and governmental buyers at no cost.
