Fearless Fab Flamingo, a UAE-based entrepreneurial community for Filipino women, hosted Fearless Summit 2023 -said to be the first Filipino entrepreneurial summit in Dubai- from August 26-27, 2023.

Launched in 2021 by Ethel Bruwer, Fearless Fab Flamingo has organized key events that convenes the UAE's Filipino entrepreneurial community and has had a special focus on supporting female startup owners. The Fearless Summit 2023 has thus been its latest undertaking.
