Women in Sustainable Finance (WISF) and SwissFinTechLadies are thrilled to announce their strategic partnership to empower women in sustainability, finance, fintech, and blockchain.
The partnership aims to enhance women's visibility in these sectors, boost their success rates, and improve their training in private markets investments. It leverages the expertise and networks of WISF and SwissFinTechLadies to foster an inclusive financial sector where women are empowered to invest, diversify their portfolios, and drive sustainable change in particular through angel investing.
The combined efforts of WISF and SwissFinTechLadies aim to amplify women’s contributions to the financial sector, not only as employees, but also as investors. Through this collaboration, the organzations aim to inspire more women to excel in the fields of finance, fintech, and blockchain, while acknowledging the unique perspectives and insights they contribute to sustainable investing. Both organizations share a commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and have integrated sustainability as a core principle in their missions.
The Female Angel Investing Programme is a key initiative to empower more women in angel investing. Operating under the Female Angel Club within SwissFinTechLadies, the programme equips women with the essential resources to become confident and strategic investors, fostering a new generation of female decision makers in investing. Starting January 2025 WISF members will have privileged access to this programme.
"We believe that empowering women to take an active role in sustainable finance is essential for creating a balanced, resilient, and equitable financial future," said Dr. Marta Ra, Founder of Women in Sustainable Finance. "Partnering with SwissFinTechLadies allows us to extend our reach and resources, enabling even more women to step into the world of finance with confidence and purpose."
"We need women investing into private markets, sustainable fintech and creating an investor's impact," said Dr. Karen Wendt, President of SwissFinTechLadies. "Our partnership with WISF strengthens our shared mission of sustainability and extends it to private markets, a very underexplored area both in investing and in sustainability. Together, we are creating pathways for women to become not just leaders, but real investors in the sustainable investment space."
