Background

Wema Bank has reinforced its commitment to women’s economic empowerment through its sponsorship of the SheCan Do More Conference 2026, a platform designed to expand opportunities for women across business, leadership and professional development.

The conference, scheduled for June 19 in Lagos, is expected to bring together women entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners and emerging leaders from across various sectors for discussions centred on growth, innovation and financial inclusion within today’s competitive economic environment.

Wema Bank said the partnership ties in with its women focused initiative, SARA by Wema, which is designed to support women through access to finance, capacity building, mentorship and wider business networking opportunities.

The bank argued that empowering women required more than financial services alone, stressing the importance of creating pathways to knowledge, strategic relationships and resources that can help women build sustainable enterprises and advance their professional careers.

As part of activities lined up for the conference, Wema Bank will offer participants a range of incentives, including cash rewards, health benefits and business support packages, all aimed at encouraging greater financial inclusion and entrepreneurship among women.

The bank also plans to provide attendees with access to health screenings, special loan offerings and other value added services through the SARA platform, alongside a series of interactive engagement activities scheduled throughout the event.

Wema Bank said the sponsorship reflected its ongoing commitment to women’s economic advancement and to building an environment where more women can achieve financial independence, expand their businesses and contribute meaningfully to national development.

The bank described the SheCan Do More Conference as a notable platform that had helped inspire and equip women with the tools, networks and opportunities they needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive economic landscape.
