Business programme

The economy is undergoing major changes amid geopolitical and technological challenges. Women are analyzing what is happening and proactively responding to it. In the current context, women's mission is to participate in the formation of new economic policies. Technocratization of society, changes in the labor market, and excessive consumption are factors that women use to create new opportunities, including the creation of new jobs and new forms of employment that allow women to combine work and family responsibilities.

What forms of women's participation in the economy are most needed in the face of new challenges? What opportunities does the modern labor market offer? How can women's professional communities contribute to the development of international cooperation? What directions for the development of women's entrepreneurship are opening up in the current environment?

Over the last 10 years, the contents of a Russian woman's cosmetics bag have undergone structural and qualitative changes. In such a short period of time, domestic brands have not only displaced foreign-made mast-haves from Russian women's cosmetics and retail shelves, but have also entered foreign markets, such as China.

At the session ‘Women for Women: How Russian Brands are Changing the Global Cosmetics Market’ with participants from Russian cosmetics companies, marketplaces and state development institutions, we will talk about the inner workings of cosmetics brand development in the new economic realities.
