Toronto- 10th March 2022

Casa Foundation welcomes women from across vertical sectors from across India, Africa, and across North America from vertical sectors. This year’s Forum features the public, private, business, academia sectors, and startup stage entrepreneurs.

In honor and celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day, Casa Foundation for International Development is hosting the Women in Business and Leadership Forum. The theme for this year is Women in Leadership: Bridging the Digital Gap. The theme seeks to draw attention to and celebrate the tremendous efforts by women in Canada shaping the “new normal” and recovery from the COVID-19. COVID 19 has had a profound effect on women entrepreneurs especially because they own small businesses and are in the sectors that are hardest hit by the pandemic. Technology in this new era has become the critical driver of innovation, scalability, and sustainability and women are facing challenges to adapt their businesses to the digital transformation. This makes it difficult for their business to flourish and to survive in times of pandemics. The Forum focuses on:

• Celebrating International Women’s Day in 2022 by recognizing women leaders’ efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by sharing their experiences, learnings, and perspectives
• Hosting a dialogue to address the gaps in the technology and innovation sphere where women remain under-represented including entrepreneurship and leadership.

Women Inspire -2022 welcomes the Keynote Speaker: The Hon Greg Fergus, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau and 30 Leading Women from Canada and the World.
