Candesic Senior Partner Michelle Tempest took to the stage to host The Equality Moonshot Breakfast at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The breakfast was part of the World Women Agenda, which focused on bringing together global leaders from government, business, technology, and civil society to advance a bold, action-oriented gender equality agenda.

Sharing the stage were Prof. Raïssa Malu, Minister of State for National Education and New Citizenship in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who is renowned for promoting STEM education in Africa, and entrepreneur, investor, and women’s health champion Anu Jain.

Michelle said: “It was a privilege to join The Honourable Professor Raïssa Malu and Anu Jain on stage to discuss female health as a driver of economic resilience, an educational multiplier, and a powerful engine for growth. Prioritising women’s health can help address many of the challenges which were being discussed across Davos – strengthening societies and supporting a healthier, more productive workforce.”
