AXA is proud to partner with the Women’s Forum for the third edition year in a row. For three days, women and men from all across the world have been sharing ideas, opinions and solutions to bridge divides
and move towards a more inclusive world.
AXA has decided to take action and launched a Call for Initiatives for entrepreneurs improving and promoting women’s access to health, in partnership with Sanofi, BNP Paribas, Google, RB and Gavi.
The winning projects will be granted access to active mentorship provided via the Daring Circle partners, raising the profile of these businesses through their global communications channels, and creating a community of entrepreneurs with shared experiences, as well as providing funding to help take these businesses to the next level.

We are very happy to launch this coalition and engage to improve women’s access to health all around the world. As a global health insurer, we know that we have a key role to play in enhancing women and their families’ overall health, a prerequisite for them to build their lives and reach their goals.
For the second year in a row, AXA partners with the Women’s Forum for the economy and society, frequently referred to as the Women’s Forum. Founded in 2005, the Women’s Forum brings together women and men from all vocations, generations and geographies. This yearly event is held in Paris and is dedicated to highlighting women’s voices and perspectives on global issues.
