The Beijing Women's International Exchange Center and Lean In China jointly held a women's entrepreneurship salon, titled Tech 2.0: Women's Era, on September 13 at Techcode in Beijing.
Under the guidance of Beijing Women's Federation, the event, as a significant project to facilitate female development, aimed to assist women in their entrepreneurship and innovation and motivate them to fulfill their goals of self-realization and increased social value.
Chen Yuxin, co-founder of She Loves Tech and co-founder and president of Lean In China, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.
Highlighting the future trend of investing in women, she hoped to provide tech companies, investors, enterprises, entrepreneurs and consumers with a global stage, to facilitate public focus on female leaders in tech sectors and technologies and use technologies to serve women.
At the event, Chen spoke on the theme of "female tech" along with Li Liyan, Israeli business manager with She Loves Tech; and, Zhang Yu, CEO of Beijing Operation Center of China-Israel Biotechnology Company.
Li pointed to an increasing number of female senior leaders who are courageous to deal with risks and challenges around the world.
