The PAWEN Exhibition
Where Visibility Becomes Opportunity
The PAWEN Exhibition is more than a showcase.
It is a high-value marketplace connecting Africa’s women-led businesses with the people, partnerships, and opportunities that can accelerate their growth.
Taking place alongside PAWEN Summit 2026 in Lusaka, the exhibition brings together founders, executives, investors, buyers, corporates, policymakers, media, and decision-makers from across Africa.
This is where brands get seen, businesses get discovered, and conversations turn into real opportunities.
