Women in Business


To celebrate the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Series, Samsung and Her Black Book host panel event and launch grant worth over $40,000 to support Australian women in business

Samsung Electronics Australia and Australia’s premium online curated shopping and discovery app, Her Black Book  announce a new partnership that celebrates and supports female entrepreneurs in Australia for International Women’s Day 2022 (IWD).

Fresh from announcing the Galaxy S22 Series smartphone including the much-anticipated Galaxy S22 Ultra with S-Pen capabilities, this collaboration further bolsters Samsung and Her Black Book’s partnership to celebrate women in business. Up Close with Her Black Book, powered by Samsung Galaxy will see a curated panel event with sought-after leaders in business as well as a grant package worth over $40,000 RRP in total to see the next generation of women in business reach their goals.

Shaneez Johnston, Head of Corporate Affairs, Samsung Electronics Australia, said: “In the lead up to International Women's Day, we are proud to collaborate once again with Her Black Book, to present: Up Close with Her Black Book, powered by Samsung Galaxy. We are extremely excited to host this event that will celebrate women in business as well as provide grants packages to support two up-and-coming female-led businesses.

“At Samsung, our brand purpose is about creating innovations that will help people defy barriers and achieve things that have never been done before. In partnering with Her Black Book, we hope the event will provide valuable insights and peer-connections for attendees and that the grants will offer the funding, technology and mentorship that will help local businesses achieve their goals and make 2022 a turning point in their entrepreneurial journeys.”

Sali Sasi, Co-creator of Her Black Book, added: “We are thrilled to align with Samsung for such a meaningful event. Having co-founded our own tech-startup along with my sister, we understand the challenges faced with launching and growing a business and the funding required to grow – so we welcome the opportunity to empower women in business and pay it forward to those starting out.”
