TXF Stages for Change | Gender Equality in Trade and Export Finance

9-9.20 Registration & Networking

9.20-9.30 Opening remarks

Welcome to the inaugural TXF Stages for Change event! We’re really looking forward to getting to know you all and discussing how we can work together over the coming years. Join us to launch the Stages for Change network with a content-packed breakfast briefing that gives you the chance to meet fellow female leaders in the trade & export finance space. 

09.30 – 10.00 Country risk profiles: An introduction

Over the past years, we’ve been working with Coriolis Technology to devise comprehensive country risk analysis. Our reports track political risks across the globe, and this introductory session will give you an insight into our methodology.

Dr Rebecca Harding, Co-Founder & CEO, Coriolis Technology

10.00-11.00 Mapping Europe: A political risk overview

Take a tour of the most pressing political risks facing Europe today. We’ll look at topics 

including:

-Do Catalonian separatists still pose significant risks?

-What will the impacts of Italy’s strict anti-austerity measures entail, and will the economy 

recover?

-Will we ever break the Brexit deadlock, and what, if any, business will emerge from the 

confusion?

-How will the results of Ukraine’s recent election pan out?

We take your interests into account and shape the session based on the business you are engaged in. Share your expertise with fellow industry leaders and workshop tangible solutions for dealing with European risk profiles. 

Katharine Morton, Head of Trade, Treasury & Risk, TXF 

11.00 – 11.30 It’s all about the network

Grab a coffee, swap business cards, and take the time to get to know everyone in the room. Meanwhile you can use our networking app to book one-to-one meetings for the afternoon. 

11.30 – 12.30  Next steps: Cracking the industry

We’ll put our heads together for a solutions focused workshop, considering:

-What we can do within our businesses to drive gender equality in the industry

-How the Stages for Change network can facilitate this

-How we can spread the word to women across the industry
