Indian and international leaders to discuss female startups, sustainability at Horasis

In September 2015 nations adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a target of 2030. At the same time, questions remain. How can we ensure government and business devise ways to achieve the SDGs with a good outcome for the planet and human mankind? What is the role of public-private partnerships? This topic is among the many that will be discussed by leaders from across the globe at Horasis Global Meeting, a conference in Cascais, Portugal this March. The global meeting is one of four annual meetings hosted by Horasis, which also includes Horasis China Meeting, Horasis India Meeting, and Horasis Asia Meeting. Over the course of the four-day conference discussions will be held on topics such as the economics of going green, the role of millennial entrepreneurs, global relationships, and female startups. During the session on female startups, conversations will be held on how business and political leaders can better support women founders, with speakers including:
