The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is hosting the Feminist Finance Forum in Bangkok, Thailand from 16-17 August 2023. The in-person Forum will convene women entrepreneurs, investors, financial service providers, policymakers, thought leaders, ecosystem enablers, representatives from civil society and women grassroots organisations, and academia. The interactive event will include a diverse mix of plenaries, concurrent sessions, as well as side-events and networking spaces.  

The Forum will allow participants to: 

• Expand their networks of women entrepreneurs, investors, financial service providers, policymakers, and other ecosystem actors. 
• Learn from and share experiences, tools and opportunities for improving gender-responsive financing in Asia and the Pacific with leaders in this field.  
• Contribute to tangible outcomes, meaningful actions, and a regional vision for closing the gender finance gap in Asia and the Pacific.

The objective of the Forum is to foster meaningful dialogue and generate concrete action towards closing the gender-finance gap in Asia and the Pacific.

Attendance at the forum is by invitation only. However, expressions of interest in participation are currently open.
