00:05 But from more than $2 million, it has been able to make investable funds

00:10 in the amazing quarter of a billion dollars

00:14 that is being invested in startups in Singapore, Indonesia, Canada, US and Israel.

00:42 And to know that we are equal, I think in many ways,

00:46 the competence, the skill is not gendered.

00:50 It is about the results.

00:52 The tech startup Connected Women

00:55 teaches 1,000 women how to use AI or artificial intelligence.

01:01 The target is to help the co-founder Ruth U. Owen,

01:04 to help the OFWs who lost their jobs.

01:07 The target now is 300,000 women.

01:11 2 million women are also going out of the country to be nannies for other children.

01:16 Who's looking after our children? So that's the problem we're trying to solve.

01:19 Technology is the game changer or solution.

01:22 Training on 15 days for women is Zoom calls.

01:26 How can they become interested in AI and become techies?

01:30 As long as you know how to use Facebook, YouTube, and Messenger, you can join the training.

01:35 We train the machine to learn their intelligence, basically.

01:41 So for a machine to learn one object, they need millions and millions of data.

02:03 97% of them are small businesses.

02:06 In a country like Brunei,

02:08 women are starting to have a say in the business.

02:12 I've always had very supportive male role models who said,

02:16 "Look, if you can do it, you go ahead and do it.

02:19 It doesn't matter whether you're male, female, whatever.

02:22 If you have the merit, you have the credibility, you have the skill set to take a leading role."

02:28 They are the trailblazers in their careers

02:31 and were the leaders in the closed-door meetings of the APEC Business Advisory Council, or ABAC, in Cebu.

02:38 Their recommendation is to join the list of people who will be joining the APEC Summit in California this November.

02:44 Their advice to female colleagues is what the presidents and prime ministers of the countries heard.

02:52 For the women who do make it,

02:54 to reach out and support the other women who are younger and trying to break into the industry.

03:01 Don't let anyone tell you, no?
