Ivanka Trump, a woman entrepreneur herself, said she was excited to see so many women entrepreneurs under one roof. "I am proud to see that for the first time a majority of 1500 women entrepreneurs are participating in such an event."





"Only when women are empowered to thrive; will our families, our economies, and our societies reach their fullest potential," Ms Trump asserted.





"After my father's election, I saw the opportunity to leave my businesses to serve my country. Our policies aimed at helping women and removing barriers for them."





"Today, more than 11 million women in the US own businesses Many woman become entrepreneurs out of necessity. Fueling the growth of women-led-business is not only good for the society but also the economy."

"We are committed to supporting women and men both inside and outside of their homes. Women are more likely than men to hire other women. Here in India, I want to applaud PM Modi for his firm belief that the progress of a community is incomplete without empowering women."

"For the first time ever, women make up 50 percent of the people selected for this summit," Ms Trump said. In the last three decades women has made a major progress in establishing businesses, she highlighted, however, while talking about the challenges, "Women entrepreneurs got less than 3 percent funding to establish businesses in 2016."
