🔔 Event alert | She Wins Climate by IFC - International Finance Corporation 🔮 Panel: Future trends & opportunities for women-led startups in the climate space. 📍 Arena Stage, Hall 1, Upper Level, Dubai Harbour 🗓️ October 16, 12:00 - 13:00 GT 🔗 https://bit.ly/4dMwrea Women-led startups are key to innovative climate solutions! Despite their potential, only 7% of venture capital funding goes to women-led businesses in emerging markets, and just 10% is invested globally in women-led climate tech. This imbalance means that disruptive climate innovations by women aren’t getting the visibility, support, or investment they need. She Wins Climate, is IFC’s flagship program aimed at accelerating women-led climate startups and increasing their access to climate investment in emerging markets and developing economies. Mark Kahn will be sharing his views on the future trends for women-led climate action startups along with other experts including, Aakash Shah, Alina Truhina, Laurien Field, and Sammar Essmat.
