With W-GDP

Across the globe, women face a host of formidable barriers that inhibit their full and unencumbered participation in the economy. Freedoms vital to catalyzing women’s economic contributions—their ability to travel, access capital, access institutions, start, own, or inherit businesses, and work in the same industries as men—remain heavily circumscribed. Eliminating these barriers and, in so doing, harnessing the groundbreaking power of women’s economic prowess, must be at the top of the international development agenda. Advisor to the President and a crucial figure in the fight for women’s economic empowerment, Ivanka Trump has elevated the issue to one of top global importance. On the international stage, she has successfully demonstrated that empowering women is key to achieving not only social but economic and national defense goals. “Before, there were sidebar conversations at global conferences,” Advisor Trump said to Adam Boehler, CEO of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). “But now, at every G20 the President has participated in, there has been a major dialogue on women’s empowerment.” Indeed, as highlighted by Boehler, women’s empowerment is now one of the top three agenda items discussed among heads of state.

Concordia is the leading public-private sector convener, with the Annual Summit one of the most important global gatherings of C-suite executives, heads of state, government officials, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs.
