About this event
International Women’s Day is a timely moment to reflect on how women across the Asia Pacific region are not only participating in sustainability efforts, but leading them. Across the region, women founders and ecosystem builders are driving practical solutions to pressing challenges such as packaging waste, circular economy systems, and inclusive entrepreneurship. From building technology platforms that transform waste management to strengthening networks that support social entrepreneurs, women leaders are helping shape more inclusive and resilient systems.
At the same time, women leaders across the region continue to face tangible barriers. Access to capital remains uneven, investor confidence is often harder to secure, and leadership spaces in both corporate and startup ecosystems are still predominantly male. These challenges are often experienced directly in fundraising rooms, board discussions, and operational decision making.
This webinar brings together women leaders who are actively shaping sustainability and social innovation ecosystems in the region. Through their experiences, the session will explore how women are navigating these challenges, building impactful organizations, and creating solutions that generate environmental, social, and economic value.
