Local to Global

Women’s influence within their local environments is an undeniable force, showcasing their tested competencies and ingenuity in navigating challenges. This theme, “From Local to Global,” recognizes the need for women to expand their horizons. It emphasizes that the rising popularity of women in their local spheres is a stepping stone toward broader impact.

This theme acknowledges and celebrates women’s invaluable contributions, urging them to share their experiences and solutions globally. It signifies a paradigm shift, encouraging women to break through boundaries, embrace diversity, and amplify their voices on the global stage.

“From Local to Global” symbolizes a collective stride toward a more inclusive, equitable world, where women’s ingenuity becomes a driving force for positive transformation.

Inclusion, Leadership Capacity, and Influence:

The Role of Women in Global Economic, Social Impact, and Political Future of the World

In a landscape where gender stereotypes persist, a cadre of extraordinary women is challenging norms and creating significant social impacts across various sectors, notably in Politics, Business, and Governance. Trailblazers like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first woman appointed to lead the World Trade Organization (WTO), stand at the forefront alongside prominent female leaders, including Sahle-Work Zewde, Samia Suluhu Hassan, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, Halimah Yacob, Sandra Mason, Mette Frederiksen, Magdalena Andersson, Victoire Tomegah Dogbé, and Xiomara Castro.

While there has been a noteworthy uptick in female CEOs at major organizations like IBM, General Motors, and Mondelēz International, in the past and present reflects a positive trend, the reality remains that only 6.4% of Fortune 500 businesses are currently led by women. The gender pay gap and instances of female entrepreneurs creating imaginary male co-founders for credibility highlight that gender inequality persists, representing a significant business challenge.

At the 2025 Women In Business, Social-Impact & Awards International – Wibsai summit, we are convening panels featuring accomplished women in business, leadership, governance, and politics. These women, representing diverse career stages, will engage in insightful discussions on critical issues such as inclusion, women’s development, career strategy, and advancing the cause of women in the workplace.

The summit will also feature dedicated sessions exploring mental health, access to quality healthcare, and the unique challenges and opportunities for fostering health and wellness within corporate spaces.
We believe that prioritizing women’s health is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic investment in the overall prosperity of societies. By shining a spotlight on topics such as mental stability in the workplace, we aim to foster discussions that lead to actionable strategies for creating supportive and thriving work environments.
