Suzanne Biegel will introduce the Women Effect and the importance of Gender Lens Investing at 12:30-12:50. 

Achieving gender parity is a key part of the Sustainable Development Goals which were launched in 2015. Yet a lot of steps need to be taken to ensure that women across the globe can fulfill their potential. Investing in the future of women will be key to ensuring that they can realise their ambitions. The speakers we have engaged will give further information on the importance of investing in women and their thoughts on how best to narrow the gender gap going forward.
