Women in Entrepreneurship: an Inspirational Journey

9:30 – 10:30

As per the latest Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report, although almost three in four women cite job scarcity as the main reason for their business startup, compared to about two-thirds of men, high-growth entrepreneurship by women has witnessed a significant rise, thus challenging common stereotypes that portray them as disadvantaged in business leadership.

Women founders tend to build businesses that generate more revenues, create higher job growth, dream bigger, and execute better. Research by BCG shows that although men might be starting and running more businesses, their venues in job creation rates lag behind their women peers. In addition, there is more effectiveness in women entrepreneurs, and they have a larger appetite for growth.

Discover our todays’ Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs sharing their insights, challenges and recommendations, as well as their stories and visions on how to achieve a sustainable journey as a Women Entrepreneur.

Session III

Women in Governance: Shaping a Better Future for All

14:00 – 15:00

According to the UN, although balanced political participation and power-sharing between women and men in decision-making is the internationally agreed target set in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, data show that women are underrepresented at all levels of decision-making worldwide and that achieving gender parity in political life is far off.

Women demonstrate political leadership by working across party lines through parliamentary women’s caucuses and by championing issues of gender equality, such as the elimination of gender-based violence, parental leave and childcare, pensions, gender-equality laws, and electoral reform. Moreover, women’s equal participation and leadership in political and public life are proven essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

Discover our Inspiring Women ChangeMakers sharing how they are challenging status quo and fostering sustainable development and progress to be implementing the evolution of laws, policies and overall governance to Shape a Better Future for All.

Session IV

Inclusive Coding for a Better World 

15:00 – 16:00

Inclusion is more than having diverse people in the room; being mindful of workplace verbal language is also about how one interacts with the world. What you say and how you write can be a hectic journey through workplace true inclusion.

From leveraging open-source tools to repressing in-house discriminative verbal communication, which often extend far beyond gender and make you feel ‘othered’ by just shedding an unnecessary spotlight and attention to breakdown of gender like “you’re the only female in the room”, provides genuine growth opportunities. Coding is about shaping a better world. By leveraging coding skills, individuals and organizations can drive positive change, empower communities, and create a more inclusive and equitable society.

Discover our Inspiring Speakers and Innovators sharing how they are encouraging disruptive innovation in matter of AI, IoT and Web3 and how a new world of inclusiveness is opening on the path ahead thanks to Inclusive Coding.
