      KPMG Luxembourg is proud to host Fondsfrauen after-work event on 27 October 2025. The topic "Future skills – What do we really need?”, will be bringing together colleagues and industry leaders to explore the capabilities that will define tomorrow’s careers.

      Fondsfrauen is a professional network in the financial industry which advances women’s careers and champions diversity. This conversation will look beyond technical checklists to the blend of technological fluency, emotional intelligence, strategic foresight and resilient leadership women need to thrive amid disruption and digitalization. Expect practical insights, spirited discussion and meaningful networking, focused not just on skills but on mindset, community and the courage to lead the change.
