Women Leadership Forum<br />

An Initiative of<br />

WOMEN LEADERSHIP FO-<br />

RUM was initiated by <strong>European</strong><br />

Br<strong>and</strong> Institute to promote<br />

Women Leadership in the fields<br />

of economy, science & research,<br />

public institutions, society as<br />

well as to connect successful<br />

women <strong>and</strong> powerful men with<br />

the purpose of strengthening<br />

innovative <strong>and</strong> economic power<br />

in Austria.<br />

Supervisory boards are changing:<br />

Mixed leadership as innovation<br />

boost with the purpose<br />

of strengthening the Austrian<br />

innovation power.<br />

Different surveys prove that involvement<br />

of female know-how in<br />

the economy would increase growth<br />

by approximately 30 per cent in the<br />

sectors where women are underrepresented.<br />

How can we support women to<br />

approach terrains, which are dominated<br />

by men? <strong>The</strong> answer is by<br />

learning from the best. All of us:<br />

women, men, companies. What<br />

could help is female-friendly jobs,<br />

establishing networks for both child<br />

care <strong>and</strong> career-boosting activities.<br />

Company executives talk about<br />

how your company contributes to<br />

the mentioned above. <strong>The</strong> reason for<br />

that is the fact that the one who gives<br />

wins. <strong>The</strong> working environment is<br />

changing. <strong>The</strong> one, who wants to be<br />

competitive, enables women to show<br />

their potential by diverse measures.<br />

Such activities include support in<br />

terms of private <strong>and</strong> respectively<br />

family life, internal women supporting<br />

programs <strong>and</strong> awareness rising in<br />

companies. In the frame of WOMEN<br />

LEADERSHIP FORUM female <strong>and</strong><br />

male leaders gather to discuss the<br />

latest developments <strong>and</strong> thesis on<br />

how to develop women leaders for a<br />

global market <strong>and</strong> best-practice companies<br />

share their initiatives in promoting<br />

women.<br />

Take the lead <strong>and</strong> be part of<br />
