Paris PWN is a cross-sectoral networking and training platform for professional women with an international outlook. The association's objective is to promote the professional progress of women and give women the tools, networks and training they need to assume leadership. It is a group of professional women who delight in all the aspects of today's opportunities — personal, professional and familial. They do not seek to change the laws or voice feminist frustration. Instead they aim to learn from each other the ins and outs of the workplace and maximise their recognised potential and impact. Women are 50% of the talent pool and 50% of the market — the idea is to wield this growing impact wisely.

Meetings and the website are in English because PWN addresses the issues of women's professional advancement from a pan-European perspective. Members are drawn from many nationalities and backgrounds. Created in 1996, Paris PWN is today a forum of exchange for professional women from a wide variety of companies and sectors. It is part of a European PWN community (see www.EuropeanPWN.net) that covers 13 European cities.
