11:40 - 13:00 Panel Discussion:
Women in finance are still an exception, especially at the top. But it's more than that - women seem to avoid financial questions in general, even at home. So what are we dealing with here - a gender bias or personal preferences?
We might be facing old boys clubs in traditional banking, but what is it that prevents women from founding a brand new Fintech company? Why do women leave personal investments, tax and pension matters to their partners? And most important of all: What does it take to change that? Or is the young generation of women already doing the math?
