480 billion reasons for equality
No one wakes up in the morning and thinks "How should I exclude and discriminate today?" Nevertheless, old norms are reproduced again and again and the dream of an equal society often seems unreal. But there is a ways to go and the rewards are enormous to say the least. A couple of years ago, the analysis company McKinsey calculated that increased gender equality could contribute to increased global growth by USD 12 trillion by the year 2025. For Sweden, calculations show that GDP could increase by SEK 480 billion per year, if women had the same purchasing power as men. Can we really afford to give up?
Camilla Wagner lectures and is the moderator for the day.

Money is power
"I applied for capital as a pregnant woman with a foreign background and it was the toughest thing I have done. The questions I received about my business idea were incredibly much more tied to their prejudices about who I am than to the business model. I want to be the investor I never got to meet”.

The Yes Way
The Yes Way provides methods and tailors support to support entrepreneurs and innovators. Many want to strengthen and broaden the power of innovation in Sweden and most understand the value of working equally and inclusively in their operations.
