“ Engage
for impact
”
FOREWORD
T
he Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society is a leading platform dedicated
to highlighting women’s voices and perspectives on global issues. We believe
in women leaders’ distinctive capacity to create positive impact on their
employees, communities and societies.
Headquartered in Paris with global influence, the Women’s Forum for the Economy
& Society manifests a commitment to women’s leadership and progress throughout
the year with a range of Initiatives in partnership with businesses, cultural and media
leaders and non-governmental organisations.
Our yearly Global Meeting in Paris has become an unmissable date on the international
conference calendar – a place to be and to be heard.
With our powerful network that unleashes women’s leadership, our ambition to
promote our values through dialogue and concrete solutions, we are transitioning
from a convening focus to engaging for impact.
We empower leaders – both women and men – to make a difference. We strive to
build bridges between generations, countries and cultures. We encourage tolerance
and solidarity for and among women in every sector, wherever they are, through
daring dialogue at our Meetings around the world.
Working with the support of our partners and delegates, the Women’s Forum has
convened decision-makers, pioneers and trailblazers to accelerate the impact of
women’s leadership and empower women across society. When we make progress
for women, we make life better for everyone.
This year’s aspiration to bridge humanity as a means of creating a more cohesive and
vibrant society is a natural continuation of our past work and our powerful vision for
the future. We invite you to join us.

VISION
Bridging humanity
A
s the Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society highlights
women’s perspectives on global social and economic issues,
Bridging Humanity is the vision for 2018. From political upheaval
to climate change to business disruption to persistent inequality –
today’s pressing issues need gendered views to animate debates,
provide fresh opinions and create calls for action. Under the vision of
Bridging Humanity, the Women’s Forum will create bridges between
generations, countries and cultures to generate impact.
We believe women are the bridge to a more cohesive and vibrant
society, built by recognising their perspectives on humanity’s challenges
and realising their leadership potential. Women are half the global
population but the sum of their contributions has been held back to
date. Their drive to achieve a broader positive impact could span the
divides in many domains of our personal and professional lives.
Inspired by women’s leadership, the Women’s Forum for the Economy &
Society brings a distinctly female perspective to addressing the issues
affecting all of humanity and engaging for impact toward resolutions.
Bridge the issues. In order to create positive impact through their work,
interconnections amongst issues must be understood. The Women’s
Forum provides this holistic view on global challenges through its
Meetings and content, highlighting the overlap amongst issues of
business, policy, the environment, gender and society.
Bridge the leadership. Women have been under-represented in public
and private sector leadership roles, creating a vacuum of female
voices in debates about global challenges. Through its work, the
Women’s Forum shines a light on women who are tackling the issues
of our day, and brings together leaders with diverse experiences and
backgrounds. And we inspire high-potential female talents to enter the
global conversation and apply new thinking to these issues.
Bridge the distance. The world’s challenges are global and
interconnected. Our ability to address them requires diverse thinking
and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The Women’s Forum’s regional
Meetings bring leaders together to address regional challenges in a
global context, while our Global Meeting convenes around topics that
resonate with everyone, directly or indirectly. By seeking locations that
are physically or metaphorically bridges between regions or cultures,
the Women’s Forum finds a common ground for leaders of all genders
and backgrounds to debate the issues that matter most.

I
llustrating the Women’s Forum’s increasingly vital role worldwide as
a powerful platform for women’s voices, the flagship Women’s Forum
Global Meeting in Paris, builds on the success of Women’s Forum
Meetings with a regional focus.
Along with the successes of Women’s Forum Brazil in 2012, 2013 and
2014, the international expansion of the Women’s Forum gathered steam
with successive Meetings in Myanmar in 2013 and 2014. Women’s Forum
Italy, which took place during Expo Milano 2015, focused on issues
surrounding food and nutrition from the perspective of gender. In 2016
Global Women’s Forum Dubai examined achievements of women in the
Arab world. The inaugural edition of Women’s Forum Mexico highlighted
what women and men in Mexico can do to ‘co-create together’. And
Women’s Forum Mauritius explored climate change from the perspective
of African countries and Small Island Developing States.
In 2017, Women’s Forum Rome (26-27 June) focused on revitalising
Europe with women’s energy for peace and prosperity while the Women’s
Forum Global Meeting convened for the first time in Paris (5-6 October) on
the theme ‘Engage for Impact! Daring to lead in a disrupted world’. The
second edition of Women’s Forum Mexico (8-9 November) was dedicated
to the unsung heros who demonstrated incredible civic engagement
during the earthquakes.

Women’s Forum Rome 2017
Revitalising Europe with women’s energy
for peace and prosperity
(26-27 June 2017 - Rome, Italy)
W
omen’s Forum Rome gathered more
than 200 thought-leaders representing
government and business, Nobel
prizewinners and top-level personalities across
all sectors from Europe and from Mediterranean
countries. Our ambition is to mobilise women’s
energy to bolster and restore confidence in
the future of Europe, and to build new bridges
and facilitate dialogue between Europe and all
Mediterranean countries.
The Treaty of Rome gave rise to the European
Union and to the common desire to improve living
standards, guarantee social protection, combat
discrimination, encourage cross-border mobility
and promote democracy and personal freedom.
Six decades after the Treaty of Rome was signed,
the European Union has been reeling from one
emergency to another, and EU leaders have
responded with a “roadmap” in an effort to restore
confidence and rally support for its core mission: to
achieve lasting peace and growth for its 500 million
citizens.
Women’s Forum Rome created momentum and
delivered strong messages for co-operation,
growth, research & innovation, energy,
infrastructure, mobility, investment & finance,
education, culture. And it provided an opportunity
to discuss and take action on behalf of European
values, to foster prosperity and secure peace.

Engage for impact! Daring to lead in a disrupted world
(5-6 October 2017 - Paris, France)
W
e live in urgent times. The world has been
rocked by political, social, economic
and environmental shifts. Unexpected
election results revealed the fault lines in our
societies. Populism and protectionism are rising,
political tensions are escalating, armed conflict
and natural disasters caused by climate change are
destroying livelihoods and lives. At the same time,
accelerating technological innovation, automation
and artificial intelligence are changing not just the
way we work, but also the way we relate to each
other and conceive of our place in the world.
The Women’s Forum Global Meeting 2017 attracted
2,000 delegates from more than 81 countries to
discuss the most critical issues of our time, from
climate change to technological disruption. The
Meeting took as its theme, “Engage for impact!
Daring to lead in a disrupted world!”
Some of the world’s most influential, passionate
and visionary leaders spoke. Delegates included
women who work in war zones, artists, influencers,
entrepreneurs, business executives, young
rising talents and many others. Special country
delegations added to the depth and complexity
of discussions. Through discussion and spirited
debate, they examined the world’s most pressing
issues and envisioned solutions.
This exploration of solutions was grouped into
five main pillars: daring to lead, embracing our
humanity, harnessing technology, thriving through

creativity and shaping the future of work.
The world’s problems concern all humans, not just
women, but women have a growing role in resolving
them. Women leaders offer fresh perspectives;
they take a long-term view, and they are skilled
at building bridges and creating the conditions for
action and impact.Valérie Pécresse Clara Gaymard, Angel Gurría, Nina Gardner, Georges Desvaux, Beth Brooke,

Women’s Forum Mexico 2017
Unleash your leadership!
(8-9 November 2017 - Mexico City, Mexico)
T
his is an opportunity to look at major trends
and realise an open and culturally dynamic
21st century Mexico. Better leadership must
go together with new leadership – new modes of
managing companies and unleashing Mexico’s
talent, new identities and inspiration for Mexicans
as a people and for the country in the region and
the world.
This second edition of Women’s Forum Mexico
brought together women and men, each an
influencer or high potential in his or her field, for
forward-looking debates intended to contribute to
national renewal, encourage corporate innovation,
and support individual leadership development.
Our premise was that women’s experience,
expertise, and vision are essential for achieving
viable social and economic advancements – so we
featured women leaders from Mexico and abroad in
dialogue with their men counterparts.
On the agenda for Women’s Forum Mexico:
• How to promote more civic engagement to
strengthen Mexico’s leadership?
• Diversification: Our no. 1 priority
• The trends we must take into account for a
thriving 21st century workforce
• Do it! Being leaders in our sectors
• Learning from Mexico’s successes in doing
business with Canada and Latin America
• Changing the narrative for women: A needed
cultural dialogue

Our editorial approach
T
he Global and Regional Meetings of the
Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society
are animated by programmes and initiatives
taking on the most pressing global issues and
challenges facing humanity.
With each programme, our goal is to focus on
Aimee Mullins
driving the discussion towards action and ask
participants – what do we do next?
We are committed to bringing diverse perspectives
to these discussions. They include leaders from
different backgrounds and experiences, multiple
geographical regions, both the public and private
sector, including cultural organisations and NGOs.
We also succeed in creating a mix of established
and up-and-coming contributors to our plenary
sessions and discussions, moving beyond the
usual suspects.
With their finger on the pulse of established and
emergent issues, our speakers put our programme Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
at the leading edge of a global exchange of ideas.
Jean-Bernard Lévy
A narrative focus for each year – in 2018 an
aspiration to bridge humanity as a means of
creating a more cohesive and vibrant society – – as
well as the related themes of each meeting help to
organise our collective thinking and unlock a body
of insights and content that create influence and
impact throughout the year.
The creation of programmes and initiatives for
the year’s meetings are supported by an editorial
director and committee of senior thought leaders
in business, government, cultural, media and civil
society. This brain trust reflects the same diversity
of experience and opinion that we seek to bring to Phumzile Miambo-Ngcuka
the programme itself.Irina Bokova Muhtar Kent Sheikha Lubna Al-Quasimi

WOMEN’S FORUM INITIATIVES
Nurturing talent among
women for the future of
global business and
society
T
he Women’s Forum Rising Talents Initiative,
celebrating its 10 th Anniversary in 2017, aims
to distinguish highly talented young women
who are on their way to becoming influential figures
in our economies and societies. This initiative is a
commitment to promote women leaders and bring
the vision of rising generations to the Women’s
Forum.
The Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society
and its partners share a common belief: that the
identification and nurturing of talent among women
is critical for the future of global business and
society.
Each year some 20 young women join the Rising
Talents network, attend the Women’s Forum Global
Meeting and regional Women’s Forum Meetings,
and benefit from enhanced networking activities
during these events and in the future.WOMEN’S FORUM STRATEGIC COMMITTEE
What is the Daring Circle?
B
uilding on the theme of the Global Meeting in October 2017 –
“Daring to lead in a disrupted world”, the Daring Circle invites
leaders to question assumptions, and to re-engage for the impact
they want to create. The ambition of the Daring Circle is to translate the
rich agenda of these Meetings into permanent conversations delivering
tangible positive societal and economic outcomes.
The Daring Circle will invite select business leaders, experts and
influencers to do exactly that: engage for long-term positive impact on
issues where the leadership of women is paramount, supporting it and
empowering women to take action across society. Together, the Daring
Circles will inform and shape the debate on those issues and promote
collaborative ways of working among our institutions in the face of
continuing global disruption.
How will the Daring Circles work?
• Strategic Members will have first-right a refusal to take a leading
role in their participation of the Daring Circles of the Women’s Forum,
including having the opportunity to join the programme best suited to
their expertise and purpose.
• Each programme will feature a combination of strategic members, a
knowledge partner(s) to source content and insights and an institutional
partner(s) with relevant policy influence and expertise (eg; OECD,
UNWomen, ICRC, C40).
• Each Daring Circle will be developed with the support of the content
partner of the Women’s Forum, Kite Global Advisors.
• Daring Circles are designed to generate evidence-based insights that
will motivate and inform action among both Daring Circle members and
beyond.
• They will run for 12-18 months depending on the scope of the
programme.
• During and in between the Women’s Forum Meetings, the Forum will
ensure that members connect, exchange ideas and insights among
peers, agree priorities and initiatives and monitor progress.Upcoming Meetings Women’s Forum Canada 10-11 May 2018 Toronto, Canada Women’s Forum Singapore 12-13 September 2018 Singapore Women’s Forum Global Meeting 14-16 November 2018 Paris, France www.womens-forum.com
