We have identified that in Latin America there is still huge gap in gender equality. At IE Business School one of our key values is diversity. We want that both men and women have the same opportunities in business. Today women still face more challenges when trying to get higher positions within an organization. We want to empower women to pursue their dreams and have the same opportunities when developing a business. With the aim of empowering women who are entrepreneurs and connecting the women in business network in Latin America, IE Business School and Dalia Empower are launching the first Inspiring Women in Business Venture Day in Mexico City.

The Venture Day will provide a cutting-edge, highly competitive program designed to identify and support disruptive start-ups who were founded by women.
