IWF Finland is the local Finnish forum of the International Women’s Forum (IWF), which is an invitation-only network of the most accomplished women in the world.
We aim to advance women’s leadership and equality worldwide by connecting accomplished women into a welcoming and supportive peer-to-peer network of trust both locally and globally.
IWF Finland was founded in 2016 to promote women’s leadership and networks, share knowledge, experience and ideas in Finland, as well as connecting Finnish female leaders globally.
We bring together women leaders in various fields and industries while cooperating with companies and organizations.
IWF Finland connects women leaders across every professional sector in Finland. Our members represent the leaders in corporate life, public administration, academia, culture, science and arts.
We provide a global peer-to-peer network of women leaders and help build leadership skills through a variety of intimate events, mentorship programs and global conferences.
Our mission is to unite the Finnish community of women leaders to advance women’s leadership today and tomorrow.
Our values are Unite, Uplift, and Unleash.
Our vision is to contribute to creating a world where women have equal representation at every level of leadership
IWF Finland is part of the global International Women’s Forum, launched originally in New York City in 1974, when the first generation of women leaders was breaking the glass ceiling in professional sectors from finance to fine arts.
The International Women’s Forum now connects more than 8,000 preeminent women leaders in 77 Forums in 35 countries around the world.
We are the only organization of this scale that builds significant relationships between C-level women across countries and careers.
