Eugenia Koh, Global Head of Sustainable Finance, Wealth and Retail Banking at Standard Chartered, discusses the bank's strategic initiatives to empower women entrepreneurs and drive inclusive economic growth, including the SC WIN program, which has provided $300 million in financing to women-led SMEs and aims to reach $1 billion by 2028.

Eugenia also delves into the Women in Entrepreneurship program, part of the Futuremakers initiative, which targets the creation and sustenance of 140,000 jobs by 2030, focusing on women and people with disabilities. By offering mentorship and strategic support for women entrepreneurs, the programme addresses the unique challenges some women entrepreneurs face - we hear a success story of a chemotherapy food business that benefited from the bank's initiatives.

Standard Chartered's move to assist SMEs in business growth, sustainability and strategy, signals the incredible impact that large corporations can enable. Join us for an insightful conversation on how inclusive and sustainable finance can drive positive change in society, empowering women entrepreneurs to thrive in today's dynamic business landscape.
