Manufacturing is entering a new era, and the shift is not just about technology—it is about redesigning jobs, skills, and pathways into the industry. The question is whether people will be equipped—and invited—to participate in this transition. To this end, GWA hosted a roundtable discussion in DC, sponsored by Foxconn, that convened business representatives and policy experts to discuss the future of new manufacturing innovation and the social impacts it will have.

Global Women Asia is proud to announce Renu Bhatia and Jonathan Friedland as the newest members of its Board of Directors. Renu, Co-Founder of Opharmic Technology and former Chair of the Listing Committee for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, brings over 25 years of expertise across healthcare, finance, and technology. Jonathan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Chief Communications Officer at Netflix, contributes deep experience in global media and corporate communications across Asia and Latin America. GWA is honored to have both Renu and Jonathan on our team to help strengthen GWA’s mission and values.
