National Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Malaysia (NAWEM) was founded on the firm belief that the full realisation of the human potential is limited only by the acquisition of skill and knowledge, and, the availability of information and opportunities. The organisation is an excellent platform for women entrepreneurs, with NAWEM providing the leadership to influence and shape policies which will benefit women in business in particular, and, the nation, in general.

Conscious of our ever changing and demanding environment, NAWEM aspires to be the inspiration to stimulate innovation and creativity in the development of businesses that will be sensitive to local values and customer needs. We also recognise the need for cohesiveness in forging business relationships. To this end, NAWEM acts as the conduit to transcend differences, and to nurture cooperation and a mutually satisfying business environment within and outside our national boundaries.
