Quetta hosts inaugural WaxNet exhibition for women entrepreneurs

The inaugural WaxNet Quetta 2026 exhibition, a two-day event aimed at showcasing the business capabilities of women in Balochistan, has successfully concluded at the Beautemps Expo Center. Organized by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) in collaboration with the Balochistan Investment Board, the Department of Women Development, and the Quetta Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the event featured 100 stalls.

Bilal Khan Kakar, Vice Chairman of the Balochistan Investment Board, stated that the program exceeded expectations, providing a platform for skilled women from across the province to present their products and build business connections. The initiative seeks to grant women access to new markets, training, and facilities to foster economic empowerment.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Dr. Rababa Bilidi, Advisor to the Government of Balochistan for Women's Development. Officials emphasized that such platforms are essential for connecting local entrepreneurs with national and international buyers, ultimately promoting locally manufactured goods and supporting small to medium-sized enterprises.
