During this Ceremony, the BSE, like all the stock exchanges around the world, will be acknowledging the important role that women play in society and celebrating their contributions by facilitating an engaging panel discussion to deliberate on this year’s theme by unpacking how innovation & technology can promote gender equality in our society today.

Panelists will include; Gosmartvalue, Founder & Managing Director, Ms. Sethebe Manake; Seipone AI, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Nomsa Makgabenyana; and Eskom Pension and Provident Fund, Assistant Portfolio Manager, Ms. Lungile Luvuno, CFA
