Women In­vest

In March, we held our annual investment competition in partnership with Dyngja. This time around, the competition was organized in conjunction with our Women Invest initiative and was exclusively open to women.

On 30 April, Arion Bank hosted an event in partnership with IceBAN under the title Women Invest x IceBAN: Leading the Financial Revolution. The event formed part of the official programme of Iceland Innovation Week, which was held between 27-30 April. Innovation Week was opened by Benedikt Gíslason, CEO of Arion Bank, and entrepreneur Skúli Mogensen at Hvammsvík on 27 April.

Arion Bank has published a brief and accessible report summarizing the results achieved during the first year of the initiative Women Let's Invest.

Earlier this year, we hosted a fun investment competition in collaboration with Dyngja. This time, the competition was held under the banner of our “Women invest” initiative and was therefore exclusively for women.

Defenders of the initiative Women Let's Invest at Arion Bank, Snædís Ögn Flosadóttir, Head of Markets, along with Guðrún Ólöf Hrafnsdóttir and Eva Rún Eiðsdóttir from the bank's marketing department, recently traveled together to Copenhagen where they held a well-attended event for Icelandic women in the Danish business community.

The Reykjavík Global Forum 2024 was held from 10–12 November and once again brought together a diverse group of leaders and influencers from various sectors of the international community. This was the seventh consecutive year that the conference took place.

Iða Brá, Assistant Bank Director at Arion, and Halla Tómasdóttir, CEO of B Team, jointly rang the bell for gender equality at the Iceland Stock Exchange on International Women's Day, March 8th last year, at a global stock exchange joint event.
