Vision 2045 panel: Reduced inequalities

Our CEO J Schwan was to speak on a panel discussing how businesses are using technology to create equal opportunity in the world and how digital transformation can create a framework for reducing inequalities. But there was a change of plans. We recognized the lack of gender diversity on the panels and our ability to create equal opportunity in real time, so we passed the mic to our own amazingly talented Jennifer Crowley to represent Kin + Carta. The panel featured Kin + Carta alongside BSH Hausgeräte, Novartis and Tikehau Capital.
