Launch of the GICC Gender Innovation Principles

As part of UN Women’s innovation strategy to drive industry-wide action in this area, UN Women has created the Global Innovation Coalition for Change (GICC) with key representatives from the private sector, academia, and non-profit institutions. Specifically, the GICC aims to build market awareness of the potential for innovations developed by women that meet the needs of women and girls; identify the key barriers to women and girl’s advancement in innovation, technology and entrepreneurship; and work collaboratively to identify and take actions to address these barriers and needs at an industry-wide level.

This event will bring together Champions for Innovation, CEOs, and the UN Women Executive Director to launch the Gender Innovation Principles, which have been developed by GICC members to set the standard for a gender-responsive approach to innovation, engaging GICC members but also any interested signatory to improve their organizational and business practices.

Please note that, due to limited capacity, in-person attendance is by invitation only. However, all interested parties can connect to the LiveStream at https://new.livestream.com/nasdaq/live.
