Panel 3

Dynamics of Future – Economic Empowerment of Women

Theme 03

Persistent gender gaps in employment, wages, leadership, and access to resources continue to limit women's full economic potential. This panel will highlight policies, investments, and initiatives that can remove these barriers, support women-led entrepreneurship, and foster leadership in economic sectors. Participants will discuss how empowering women economically benefits not only individuals but entire societies – driving growth, innovation, and resilience – and how international cooperation can amplify these effects globally.
