HSBC Women's World Championship Business Forum 2025

​HSBC X SLT Women’s World Championship Business Forum: Bolder Forward

​In the 2025 edition of HSBC X She Loves Tech Women’s World Championship Business Forum, we bring together sports, technology and business in a single forum to explore what it takes to thrive in a digitally-driven economy. 

​Athletes and entrepreneurs share this in common - they did not choose the usual and safer course. The career span of most pro-athletes is relatively short, whilst the risk of failures for startup entrepreneurs is incredibly high. By defying the norm,  these individuals stand out and develop resilience that allow them to thrive amid more challenging times.

​With Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) reshaping everyday activities in business and in personal lives, the unknown unknowns around the rapidly evolving tech continue to plague the world. Given this backdrop, what does it take to forge ahead boldly? Why does this matter? 

​Our dynamic line-up of speakers will explore how thinking-out-of-the-box,  resilience and a deep sense of commitment so integral in sports as well as business — can lead to success.  

​GOAT Annika Sorenstam, winner of 72 LPGA Tour events, headlined this event in 2024. Other past speakers included Natalie Dau before her record-breaking solo run, Steve Melhuish (PropertyGuru), Rachel Lim (Love, Bonito) and Olympian Tao Li. 

​Let’s step bolder forward together!
