For the 12th consecutive year, the Women in Business Forum aims to creatively examine the issues and challenges surrounding the inclusion of women in middle and senior management. As an expanded, four-hour interactive experience, it highlights examples and experiences from executives as well as corporate case studies.

ICAP CRIF as a socially responsible employer,  aims through the Women in Business Forum to:

• Inform and train female executives so they can advance in the professional hierarchy and/or take on business initiatives and action.
• To inspire through Success Stories
• To highlight Best Practices in women’s leadership in the corporate sector.
• To foster productive networking.

The Forum, will highlight the following themes:

1) Women in Tech & AI. Driving Innovation: Women at the Forefront of Change.

Who is writing the algorithm of the future? Women who don’t follow, but instead design the game.

From bias to breakthroughs, we examine how they are taking the AI agenda by storm and overturning the status quo.

2) Inclusive Leadership. Building Diverse and Resilient Organizations.

Diversity isn’t a KPI—it’s a competitive advantage.

Leaders who dare to challenge stereotypes build organizations that endure, evolve, and succeed in an uncertain environment.

3) Entrepreneurship and Growth.

There is no growth without boldness.

Women who push the boundaries of entrepreneurship, seek funding, take risks, and turn uncertainty into opportunity and scale.

4) Redefining Success. Work-Life Integration, Health and Wellbeing.

Success without well-being is failure. The time has come to redefine what it means to “have succeeded”,

by focusing on energy, balance, and the sustainability of life.

The event is hosted by the Journalist, Maria Samolada.
