Innovation City Cape Town is thrilled to announce 10X Investments as the Lead Sponsor for the Digital Divas Summit 2024, set to take place on August 23. This premier event aims to empower and celebrate women in the digital and technology sectors and beyond. In addition, 10X Investments’ COO, Caroline Naylor-Renn, will be presenting a Masterclass titled “Grow Your Wealth: Smart Investment Strategies for Every Budget.”

Here’s an informative Q&A from the 10X team to find out what they’re all about and why they’re backing the Digital Divas this year:

Who is 10X?

Founded in 2008, 10X Investments was established with a mission to bring much-needed simplicity and transparency to the complex world of retirement investing. Over the past 15 years, we have built an unparalleled track record of investment performance, expanding our offerings to serve both private individuals and corporate retirement funds. As an authorised financial services provider, we pair profound expertise with an unwavering commitment to helping clients achieve better outcomes.

What motivated 10X to become a sponsor for the Digital Divas Summit 2024?

We’re committed to supporting initiatives that empower and celebrate women in the fintech space. The Digital Divas Summit aligns perfectly with our values of promoting inclusivity and innovation within technology and leadership. This sponsorship helps us contribute to the advancement of women in digital careers, foster networking opportunities, and inspire the next generation of female leaders. It’s an honour for us to participate in such an impactful women-led event.

How does the Digital Divas Summit audience align with 10X’s target market?

The audience of the Digital Divas Summit represents a dynamic and forward-thinking group of women within the digital and technology sectors. Many summit attendees seek progressive approaches to career development, leadership, and empowerment. Most importantly, we recognise that successful women are financially savvy. They seek ways to uplift themselves and their community by investing in themselves and by prioritising saving. We want to help those women by providing them with the knowledge that grows their wealth.

In your opinion, what are some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing women in the digital landscape today?

Gender bias and stereotypes continue to be obstacles that women face in the tech industry. These barriers affect their career progression and representation in leadership roles. Access to mentorship, networking opportunities, and resources tailored to women’s needs remain scarce. However, these challenges present opportunities for innovation and change as women bring diverse perspectives and skills to the table. The Digital Divas Summit plays a pivotal role by providing platforms for skill development, networking, and advocating for gender equality in technology. As we continue to address these challenges collectively, we create a more inclusive and prosperous digital future for all.

What key insights do you want to share with the Digital Divas Summit audience?

We want to empower women to take control of their financial futures through innovation, education, and transparency. Financial literacy and planning are crucial tools for achieving long-term success and independence. Understanding investment strategies, managing financial risks, and leveraging opportunities can significantly impact a woman’s career and personal goals. We encourage attendees to explore how proactive financial planning can support their ambitions and help them thrive in the digital age.

Women should equip themselves with financial knowledge and partner with trusted advisers so that they can navigate challenges and seize opportunities with confidence. We look forward to engaging with you at the summit and sharing insights that can boost your journey towards financial well-being and digital leadership.

What is 10X Investments’ core commitment to women’s empowerment?

We are committed to supporting women in the digital space. We recognise the invaluable contributions women make to technology and innovation and would like to foster an inclusive environment where their talents can flourish. With the right tools and resources, women can drive positive change within their relative spaces and beyond. We believe that by promoting diversity and inclusion, we can collectively create a brighter and more equitable future for all in the digital era.
