Wo(men)’s Networking Lunch – Everyone welcome! 

Empowering women in nutraceuticals via two must-attend panel discussions and a delicious lunch!

Join us for an exciting networking event that celebrates the women making waves in the nutraceutical industry and challenging the status quo, from scientist to CEO. Challenging stereotypes and pushing the boundaries are what we’re all about, so join the conversation regardless of your gender. 

Despite accounting for half of the global population, women continue to be underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) disciplines worldwide. In the EU, over half (53%) of STEM-related university degrees were obtained by women in 2019, yet three years later, only a third (34%) of professionals in the field are female. As you go up the career progression ladder, the percentages of women diminish. In biopharma companies, around half (47%) of the workforce are women, but this proportion shrinks to just 8% at C-suite. Why are we losing these women, and how can we reverse this trend? 

Spotlighting the female professionals who are spearheading change in the global nutraceutical industry, the Wo(men)’s Networking Lunch will consist of two panel discussions featuring a selection of the industry’s leading voices as well as a series of dedicated networking activities. The first session will focus on pathways into the industry, highlighting the women who are defying the odds and paving their way to success in typically male-dominated fields. While the second will celebrate entrepreneurship, showcasing the female changemakers who are creating nutraceutical products aimed at addressing specific female wants and needs.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded women, learn from successful female leaders, and celebrate the contributions of women in the nutraceutical industry. Register now and be part of this empowering movement!
