As the world continues to evolve, humans are constantly transforming, finding more innovative ways to do business and deliver services. Technology has brought on a new era by enabling transformation across different spheres of life- from business, to career, to everyday decisions, we experience the power of tech. As a result of these changes, businesses continue to drive the adoption of technology by supporting the growth of the ecosystem. One of such organizations is FSDH- a financial service group with track record and focus on delivering corporate & business banking, capital markets, asset management, and financial technology services. 

The company is set to host women in business, female founders, and women across industries at the 2nd edition of the FSDH Women in Business event. While the first edition focused on the total wellbeing of a woman, this year’s summit themed “Women on the Rise” will champion discussions around the importance of technology, communities and capital as growth enablers and how women can leverage these tools to access new markets and contribute to the growth of the economy.
