Annual Ideagen UN Empowering Women & Girls 2030 Summit

Ideagen

Where the world’s leading companies, NGOs and public sector organizations convene to innovate and

collaborate to address the world’s most vexing issues. The Annual Ideagen UN Empowering

Women & Girls 2030 Summit will include the unveiling of the 2017 Ideagen list of

the 100 Individuals and Organizations Empowering Women & Girls across

the planet. Luminaries from across sectors will present

and convene to discuss key challenges and to

develop solutions to empowering women

& girls across the planet.

The focus of this year’s Empowering Women and Girls Summit on July 20th at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City will be Business and Entrepreneurship.

With women becoming more prevalent in c-suite

positions, we want to focus on the challenges they

faced to get there and the changes they can make

to establish the pipeline for future generations

of women to be successful. There is a strong

demand for girls at a young age to be taught the

importance that anything is possible. We will hear

from some amazing entrepreneurs who have taken

the initiative to solve issues on women’s health,

equality and education. The old belief that we are

living in a man’s world is being shattered. Through

the extraordinary work that women entrepreneurs

and leading corporations are doing around the

world, we are now on a path to empower.

FOCUSIdeagen 2017

The summit will focus on a range of issues including economic development, healthcare, aging, education, nutrition, and technology and how business leaders and entrepreneurs are developing sustainable solutions. To create a better tomorrow, we need to lay the foundation for future strategies in all sectors.

Our mission is to provide a platform for extensive in-depth dialogue on existing barriers and challenges that we face today, so we can develop solutions that will provide women and girls an opportunity to improve their lives and their contribution to the world we live in.

In the current era of digital transformation, successful organizations can no longer take a singular approach to drive lasting change. What can we learn from the solutions that exist in order to create new possibilities for empowering the women and girls of tomorrow?

With a diverse group of experts who will speak and discuss topics of entrepreneurship, empowerment, leadership and success; this opportunity will prove invaluable to connect with and empower talented women and girls who see the world not as it is, but what it could be – and then do something about it.

We will hear from leading women who have identified some of today’s most vexing issues and have taken a collaborative

approach to innovate and achieve sustainable impact.
