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 governmental 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’ responsibilities 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 countries, regions, and globally. Join us at the
Summit to share lessons for improving the lives of women everywhere.

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 economic growth was recently described by the Financial
Times as a “gravity-defying boom,” benefits from its
strategic location connecting the Far East to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. At the center of high
growth Asian markets, the country offers ample business 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
Capital City of Kuala Lumpur
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 account for 60 percent of the labor force in key industries, such as the financial services sector, 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
multinationals, CEOs of enterprises from small to large, as
well as in the leading government roles.
Beaches help make Malaysia 9th
most visited country in world.
A sampling of Malaysia’s women leaders include CEO of
Procter & Gamble Malaysia and Singapore Ellie Xie, Country Manager of Pfizer Malaysia Angel Choi, Managing Director and CEO of Hong Leong Bank Yvonne Chia, CEO of
the Kuwait Financial House Jamelah Jamaluddin and Governor 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.

showcase their products.

globewomen.org or contact the Summit office at [email protected].
WHAT THE GLOBAL SUMMIT OF WOMEN MEANS TO WOMEN
Seeing one thousand people from 81 countries in a room is impressive. It is even more impressive when
you consider that the topic of discussion is women, women’s representation and development,”
Umran Beba, President — Asia Pacific Region, PepsiCo
The Women's Summit...was a symbol of a worldwide understanding which -- using economic relations
as its point of departure -- conspires to bring together women from all over the world to form an enormous public-private partnership for long-term change."
Hon. Ursula von der Leyen, Minister for Labor, Germany
"Participating in the Global Summit in Chile was a fantastic experience. The warmth and receptivity of
the women there was inspiring."
Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Winner (USA)
The Global Summit of Women is really a true and effective international forum and platform for women
across the world, where we can share our thoughts, feelings and experiences globally.
Shahinoor Rahman, Owner, Shanoo's Collection, Bangladesh
"I find that the Global Summit of Women inspires increasingly more women to reach for more than they
ever thought possible. The relationships I, and many other GSW participants, have made have been
invaluable to each of our personal and professional development."
Tess Mateo, Managing Director, CXCATALYSTS (USA)
Congratulations on a highly successful event. My 'take-aways' are substantial, and will take several
days to digest...It was a pleasure and a privilege to share and learn from others."
Krista Walochik, CEO, Norman Broadbent (Spain)
