The NEXT B2B FORUM offers corporations & startups a stage to mingle, exchange ideas & discuss the future of their industry.
About this event
According to The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, if no action is taken, it could take us nearly 100 years to reach gender parity. So how can we fast-track progress and turn the 2020s into the decade of parity?
In honor of German Diversity Day, the Global Shapers Frankfurt Hub invite you to our flagship event, the Next B2B Forum: Generation Equality. Since 2014, the Next B2B Forum has provided a platform for thought leaders to discuss the future of their industry. With our Generation Equality edition, we aim at engaging key stakeholders on the future of work and how to embed gender inclusion at the core of organizations. During the event, there will be multiple opportunities to showcase innovative solutions on achieving diversity and equality through art, startup pitches, and a panel discussion. The overarching goal is to spark a movement towards accelerating progress and closing the gender gap within our lifetime.
