"Smashing Ceilings & Funding the Future: Why Women Leaders Are the Ultimate Game-Changers"
Women lead only 10% of Fortune 500 companies, and female founders still receive less than 2% of global venture capital funding. Despite research showing that women-led startups generate 35% higher ROI, access to funding remains a major barrier. What will it take to change the game?
Join Yseulys Costes (CEO & co-Founder, Numberly), Marlène Schiappa (Former French Minister, President of the non profit Actives, founder of the #NextWomen40, Partner at Tilder), and Lauren Benton (US General Manager, Back Market) for a bold discussion on how increasing the number of women in executive leadership can unlock new funding pathways, fuel opportunities for female tech entrepreneurs, and drive a seismic shift in the global economy. This panel will explore how women leaders are not just smashing ceilings—but reshaping the future of business, investment, and innovation.
Doors: 8:30AM / Panel will start promptly at 9AM
