About the SUMMIT
100% construction
(Skema Observatory on the Feminisation of Large French Companies”, 2015).
This event seeks to bring together the next generation of Women Leaders in the Construction industry in France. We strongly believe that women are key to creating the next revolution in construction, which will result in the highest level of trust, integrity and value creation for Construction stakeholders.
This is the very first edition of the Women Leadership in Construction Summit and will take place at Ecole Centrale Lille in France on September 26, 2019. This Summit will bring together women from three continents : Africa, Europe and North America.

our Philosophy
I know from my own personal experience that gender diversity leads to higher performance, a more inclusive culture, more balanced decisions. I believe a business that is not gender balanced is not going to be sustainable. The responsibility to build that inclusive culture is in the hands of us as leaders.
