QWINBIZ: From Vision to Impact

1. Background

QWINBIZ (Queensland Women in Business) is an initiative developed by LATINOZ QLD INC. (ABN 42 372 148 665), designed to support migrant women from Latin American backgrounds living in Queensland by providing tools to strengthen and scale their businesses.

The 2025 edition, titled QWINBIZ: From Vision to Impact, aims to support Latina migrant women in Australia as they transition from business stability to acceleration and consolidation.
