With the flourishing of the Internet, an increasing number of women are realizing their entrepreneur dreams with the major E-commerce platforms, which provide them with new chances for starting their own business.
Since the beginning of this year, the Weidou Community has become a pilot community for the "Internet +female" entrepreneurship campaign. Based on the store sales and the online platforms, it has made great efforts to explore the new models for female entrepreneurship and has greatly promoted the female employment and supported female entrepreneurs.
At the fair, over 50 female entrepreneurs showed their online products to the customers, including cosmetics, featured farm produce and woven handicrafts, and communicated with the other females with the intentof starting their own businesses.
