ABOUT AWLS 2023
As the humanity heals from the trauma of the pandemic, women leaders from all walks of life can bring new perspectives and lead the society with compassion and empathy to a better, shared future. By enhancing both, the depth and range of contribution of women to the economy and society at large, we can craft a speedy and more balanced resurgence after the pandemic. We will also discuss how younger women executives can play a more active role in creating new enterprises, including sustainable and green businesses.
