On July 17, 2023, the Women’s Entrepreneur Network Nagaland conducted a workshop for women entrepreneurs and Women-led businesses in Mokokchung. The workshop was held at the DC Conference Hall in Mokokchung.

Their objective in conducting the workshop was to build an entrepreneurial environment, create a network, and facilitate women entrepreneurs.

WENN stands for Women Entrepreneurs Network Nagaland, and they are a network of women entrepreneurs who have contributed towards a habitat that is productive for women’s entrepreneurship in Nagaland. Any woman entrepreneur or woman-led business can be a member of WENN.

The Deputy Commissioner of Mokokchung, Shri Tsüvisie Phoji NCS, while addressing the participants of the workshop, acknowledged the WENN for coming to Mokokchung to create a network with the entrepreneurs and to push and pull the entrepreneurs in unison. He pointed out that there are more women entrepreneurs in Kohima and Dimapur as those districts are the state capital and commercial hub. He also added that entrepreneurs can grow in Mokokchung too, as it also has ample avenues. He justified his point by stating that Mokokchung, known as the Land of Pioneers, also has the opportunities and raw materials needed to start up a business.

He mentioned that no matter how small the business can be, one can look at the bigger picture and work towards expanding the business beyond Mokokchung to neighbouring districts like Zunheboto, Wokha, Tuensang, Noklak, Shamtore, Longleng, and Mon.

The workshop was attended by around 40 Women Entrepreneurs and officials from Watsü Mungdang, Mokokchung. The Workshop was supported by SBI as the knowledge partner.
