Forbes DA Women’s Summit 2023 Vienna

It’s been over four years since the last Forbes Women’s Summit happened in Vienna. On November 23th, the initiative celebrated its comeback at the Park Hyatt Vienna. Due to outstanding speakers, strong partners and an engaged audience, the day was a huge success, with most attendees describing it as “inspiring, powerful, and creative.” Right from the start, Dorothy Khadem-Missagh set the tone for the Forbes Women’s Summit 2023. Starting the Summit off with a musical exercise and singing session, Khadem-Missagh made sure that the audience was engaged in the event from the first minute. First, the attendees were asked to echo simple tones, but the chorus grew, under Khadem-Missagh’s lead, into a full-blown melody. It was then that Heidi Aichinger, publisher of Forbes DA, took the stage. She shared her story, which started with her appearance at the last physical Women’s Summit in 2019 – and ended with her in the hospital a few weeks later due to a stroke she had suffered. “I’m happy to be back here, as the Women’s Summit is my happy place.” She closed her opening speech with a note on entrepreneurship: “It is challenging. Listen to your body and your colleagues. If you need support, ask for it. And enjoy the day, as you will leave with a changed perspective.” These words transitioned into a day of exploring entrepreneurship and diversity and examining challenges and opportunities. The diversity of perspectives, topics and backgrounds made sure that the day went flying by. Discussions included titles such as “Tasting Success” with chef and entrepreneur Haya Molcho, who has built her company Neni with three of her four sons; “Facing Crises” with legendary journalist and war reporter Antonia Rados who sat across from figures like Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan or Muammar al-Gaddafi; or “Defending Democracy” with Ukrainian human rights activist Oleksandra ­Matviichuk, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work against war crimes and oppression. In her closing speech, Matviichuk said that “these dramatic times give us the opportunity to present the best in us.” #forbes #womenssummit23 #forbesda
