Happy International Women's Day from Abaxx! Today, Abaxx Technologies and Abaxx Commodity Futures Exchange and Clearinghouse celebrate #IWD2024 with the United Nations. This year's theme, 'Invest in Women: Accelerating Progress,' aligns directly with our commitment to #innovation and opportunity. At Abaxx, we believe that Smarter Markets are key to empowering individuals to work together to solve our biggest challenges, including the #energytransition to a low carbon economy. And to meet these challenges, we need to empower everyone, regardless of gender, because we will need to draw on all of their skills, abilities, and efforts. However, in many of the fields that we know best and that are critical to meeting these challenges: #fintech, #commodities, and #capitalmarkets, women are still under-represented. Abaxx is proud to be led by a diverse team including over 15 innovative female experts and benefits every day from their contributions to creating the market infrastructure and financial technology required to build Smarter Markets. We believe that accelerating progress in #genderequity will accelerate progress in meeting our other biggest challenges and are happy to celebrate International Women's Day. #SmarterMarketsAccelerateProgress #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay
