IF-Communications: Supporting Astia’s We Own It London Summit

IF-Communications is proud to once again support the Astia Foundation and it’s ‘We Own It Summit’, which will be held this year on 9-10 June at London’s Imperial College.

 We’ve had the pleasure of working with Astia for many years, supporting the foundation with it’s aim of enabling ‘women’s full participation as entrepreneurs and leaders in high-growth businesses, fuelling innovation and driving economic growth.’

This year’s ‘We Own It Summit’ keynote speech will be delivered by Cherie Blair QC, who said: “I am a firm believer in the power of women entrepreneurs, so when I heard about Astia’s summit, I was more than happy to lend my support.  Women are too often overlooked as business leaders.  If we want to successfully tackle the challenges the world faces today, we need to include women in the equation.”

Supported by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the invitation-only summit creates a venue for entrepreneurs, investors, academia, government, media, non-profit and industry organizations to discuss their aims, identify opportunities to collaborate and build alliances, share research and findings, and create a shared-policy agenda.

Internationally renowned panellists will explore the opportunities and challenges for women entrepreneurs – in particular within high-growth markets such as high technology, life science, clean technology and high-growth consumer brands.

We believe that entrepreneurs need the support of other entrepreneurs, which is why the ‘We Own It Summit’ is the perfect event for women to get the support that will enable them to achieve the success that everybody deserves.
