GEW serves as an opportunity to spotlight the innovators and risk-takers who turn ideas into action. Through events, storytelling, and community engagement, GEW encourages aspiring entrepreneurs of all backgrounds to explore new avenues for growth and economic empowerment.

This year, the Chamber has decided to recognise three dynamic female entrepreneurs as part of the GEW celebration on Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, Wednesday, 19 November 2025. The Chamber will prominently feature these three women of the Virgin Islands on its social media platforms. These women represent the determination, leadership, resilience and creativity that continue to shape the territory’s business community, and their stories aim to inspire the next generation of female business leaders.

Chairman of the BVI Chamber of Commerce, Shaina Smith-Archer, shared: “The entrepreneurial spirit of the Virgin Islands is second to none. From every corner of our community, you will find vision, determination and creativity, people who seize opportunities, build businesses, and strengthen our economy. GEW gives us a platform to honour that spirit and to inspire the next generation to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.”

Throughout the week, the Chamber will also share daily “Tips for Entrepreneurs on The Almanac on ZBVI Radio, providing valuable guidance for both emerging and seasoned business owners. The public is encouraged to visit the BVI Chamber of Commerce website and Facebook page to access these tips and learn more about GEW activities.

As the leading advocacy organisation for businesses in the British Virgin Islands, the BVI Chamber of Commerce remains committed to promoting a resilient, inclusive, and innovative business community. Through ongoing support, training, and networking opportunities, the Chamber empowers enterprises of all sizes to thrive.
