Delphi Economic Forum 
On Thursday, April 7, the Delphi Economic Forum will host, for the 3rd consecutive year and in person for the first time ever, the Inclusivity Lounge organized by Women On Top, with the support of the US Embassy and under the auspices of the General Secretariat of Demographic and Family Policy and Gender Equality.
The Inclusivity Lounge will be a place to meet, think, exchange ideas and network, around the broader theme of gender equality and how it relates to building a sustainable and inclusive economy. The aim of the initiative is to put the issues of equality, sustainability and inclusive leadership at the heart of the Delphi Economic Forum, one of the most important meeting and decision-making platforms, at a critical moment for the national and global recovery from the pandemic crisis, through investing in a more sustainable future.
Selected speakers from the fields of policy, research and business, from around the world, will analyze topics such as the impact of the climate crisis on social and gender inequalities, the role of women in building a sustainability strategy and the inclusion of the dimension of gender in investment and development policies.
The opening of the Inclusivity Lounge will be welcomed by the US Ambassador in Athens, Geoffrey R. Pyatt.
