Although there is still no real parity, about a 30% of people in directive job positions in Spain are women. The Women 360º Congress tries to give them visibility and make collaboration networks and meeting points for them. This platform tries to treat current issues related to health and business and promote models of healthy and competitive companies that opt for a global care of health 360, that is, prevention and care for the planet, people, corporations and society.
