SUMMARY:Giving Women Presentation and Afterwork Drinks in Zurich
DESCRIPTION:This Event is already practically full\n(we have released some additional tickets but we will be quite cosy if all come)\nBridging Philanthropy & Impact Investing for Women’s Economic Empowerment  \nHow can we move beyond traditional aid and catalyze sustainable\, long-term solutions for women and girls in emerging markets and underserved communities? As humanitarian crises grow\, it is more urgent than ever to shift from dependency on aid to market-based solutions that drive real economic empowerment and systemic change.  \nJoin Giving Women for an inspiring event on how philanthropy and impact investing can work together to build lasting change. Featuring ShEquity\, a gender-lens investment firm dedicated to closing the gender funding gap\, we will explore how blended finance can de-risk investments\, create self-sustaining economic opportunities and drive systemic change. \nExpect insights from ShEquity’s founder\, impact investor\, and female entrepreneur\, Pauline Koelbl\, showcasing how strategic funding models can transform communities and empower women as leaders in Africa’s green economy.  \nOur Managing Director\, Kathleen Holmlund\, will also be attending along with some members of the Giving Women Executive Committee.  \n \nPauline Koelbl is the Founder and Managing Partner of ShEquity\, a gender-smart investment firm dedicated to closing the gender funding gap in Africa and driving systemic change. With over two decades of experience in international affairs\, venture philanthropy\, ecosystem building and gender-lens investing\, Pauline is a recognized leader in fostering innovation and economically empowering women entrepreneurs across the continent. Pauline’s passion for inclusive growth and sustainable development is at the core of her work\, making her a driving force behind initiatives that aim to transform African economies. Having lived\, studied\, and worked across three continents (Africa\, Europe and North America)\, Pauline is strategically well positioned to serve as a bridge between the global south and the global north.
