2013 GLOBAL SUMMIT OF WOMEN
WOMEN: Creating NEW Economies
Summit President: Irene Natividad
The world’s leading global economic forum for women, the Global Summit of Women has developed a reputation as an exciting, fact-filled, hands-on gathering of high caliber delegates from all parts of the globe. The Summit continues to celebrate women’s leadership worldwide by bringing together women business, professional, and govern-mental leaders for three days of stimulating sessions designed to explore practical strategies and best practices in accelerating women’s economic progress worldwide.
Over fifty International Members and Partner organizations representing women on five continents are planning to participate in the 2013 Summit in Malaysia. The 2013 Summit theme – Women: Creating NEW Economies – reflects our belief that women are changing the global marketplace with the creative new enterprises they are building, their emphasis on business’ re-sponsibilities towards their workers and surrounding communities, and their protective initiatives towards nurturing a fragile environment. The 2013 Summit will inform delegates on how to access the dynamic Malaysian and Asian-Pacific markets, showcase women business and government leaders from the region, provide skills-building sessions, as well as establish networks among, such leaders. For 23 years, the Global Summit of Women has been enabling women leaders to grow their businesses, expand their networks, enlarge their opportunities in their coun-tries, regions, and globally. Join us at the Summit to share lessons for improving the lives of women every-where.

What the 2013 Summit Offers:
MALAYSIA Host of the 2013 Global Summit of Women
With its enthusiastic engagement in the global marketplace, Malaysia is the proud host of the 2013 Global Summit of Women. Malaysia, a rising economic dynamo whose eco-nomic growth was recently described by the Financial Times as a “gravity-defying boom,” benefits from its strategic location connecting the Far East to Asia, Eu-rope, and the Middle East. At the center of high growth Asian markets, the country offers ample busi-ness and investment opportunities in sectors such as oil and gas, energy, financial services, wholesale and retail, electronics, communications, and healthcare. In addition, its culture and beaches attracts tourists from throughout the world, making Malaysia the 9th most visited country in the world. Women in Malaysia A diverse, multicultural society, Malaysia has long welcomed women’s participation in economic activities. Nearly half of all women are active in the workforce and women ac-count for 60 percent of the labor force in key industries, such as the financial services sec-
tor, while the manufacturing sector is the largest employer of women in the country. Women play an important part in the country’s economy as corporate executives in multi-nationals, CEOs of enterprises from small to large, as well as in the leading government roles.
A sampling of Malaysia’s women leaders include CEO of Procter & Gamble Malaysia and Singapore Ellie Xie, Coun-try Manager of Pfizer Malaysia Angel Choi, Managing Di-rector and CEO of Hong Leong Bank Yvonne Chia, CEO of the Kuwait Financial House Jamelah Jamaluddin and Gov-ernor of Malaysia’s Central Bank Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
The Global Summit of Women is delighted to offer women in business and government globally an opportunity to become more acquainted with Malaysia and its impressive
women.

What the Global Summit of Women Means to Women
For the past ten years, the Summit has offered an opportunity for participating entrepreneurs to display their products or ser-vices to Summit delegates at the three-day WEXPO (Women’s Expo), held in conjunction with the Summit. WEXPO once again fills the halls outside of the main meeting hall at the Summit venue, the Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur. A Malaysi-an Pavilion will introduce visiting delegates to high-quality Ma-laysian goods, while entrepreneurs from around the world will showcase their products.
Space is limited and will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more in-formation on reserving your exhibition space, see the WEXPO Reservation form online at globewomen.org or contact the Summit office at [email protected].
