Description and context

What if women held the keys to the sustainable finance revolution in Quebec? This is the question that Finance Montreal and the Association des femmes en finance du Québec will try to answer during a virtual conference on the occasion of International Women's Day.

Highlighting the great female figures who work together to develop sustainable finance in Quebec, this event aims to affirm the female leadership found within Quebec's financial institutions, to explain the catalytic role that women play in the development of this underlying trend in the province and elsewhere in the world, as well as to inspire the next generation to consider the professions that promise shape the finance of tomorrow.
