WIN was founded in Milan in 1997 with a mission to inspire women worldwide. From the outset, it brought together women’s networks and women working internationally, creating a platform for connection, development, and mutual empowerment. Supported by some of the world’s leading companies, WIN was established to advance women’s leadership on a global scale and to contribute to a broader paradigm of global flourishing. Conferences, programmes, and high-level gatherings quickly became the most effective way to fulfil this mission. In 2002, WIN relocated its headquarters to Switzerland, where it continues to operate internationally.
