Global Female Leaders’ Summit 2022

This event brought together leading female executives from all over the world to discuss

current economic challenges and explore trends shaping tomorrow's business world.

We were proud to once again be a promotion partner of the event.

After a three-year break, the Global Female Leaders' Summit took place in Berlin from 8 to 10 May. Our female partners and counsels exchanged views with numerous international leaders on current economic challenges and business trends.

More than 50 international speakers offered insights into a wide range of areas - including Marika Auramo, COO SAP SE, Dr. Melinda Crane, Chief Correspondent Deutsche Welle TV USA/Germany, Saori Dubourg, BASF Member of Executive Board, Pia Heidenmark Cook, IKEA Board Member, Angie Gifford, Meta Vice President Europe and many other top-class executives. In addition to representatives from organisations such as Microsoft, SAP, IKEA, Polestart etc., various NGOs, banks and politicians, Julia Schönbohm, Jördis Heckt-Harbeck and Julia Grothaus (all Frankfurt), as well as Jana Hager (Berlin), Claudia Schneider (Düsseldorf), Martina Farkas (Hamburg) and Kerstin Wilhelm (Munich) took part in the event.

“Despite the many difficult issues that were addressed, there was a great energy and dynamism to not only deal retrospectively with the causes of the crises, but to proactively address how to shape tomorrow. Very impressive.”

Think Tank by Julia Schönbohm at Global Female Leader Summit 2022

 

The think tank led by Julia Schönbohm on the topic of CRISPR/Cas9 led to an inspiring exchange. With the help of this technology, DNA can be specifically cut and thus modified. The participants discussed in which form such genetic scissors should be permitted or prohibited. In addition, possible applications were presented - for example, to counteract food shortages or to cure genetically indicated diseases such as sickle cell anaemia.


What topics were discussed?
  • Linking to artificial intelligence: It is impossible to imagine a future without the use of artificial intelligence - especially in the areas of mobility and sustainability, but also life science and health, the use of artificial intelligence can achieve a lot.
  • Digitalisation and ethics: There are huge opportunities and efficiency potential in digitalisation or digital tools. In view of the geopolitical situation, it is all the more important that social values are "built into" the development of such tools.
  • New Work and Mental Health: Hybrid work and the reduction of permanent presence work will shape our society in the coming years. This will be accompanied by new challenges that employers will have to face in order to remain attractive to employees.
  • Sustainability in finance: Financing a universal methodology and determining how to measure sustainability in ESG are just some of the challenges facing the industry.
