## Resource

Shelley Kuipers and Judy Fairburn join Alberta Edge to discuss why women remain underrepresented in leadership, investing and entrepreneurship—even as women control a growing share of wealth in Canada. The co-founders of The51 argue that many of the economy’s biggest blind spots stem from systems historically designed without women in mind, from health care to venture capital allocation. The conversation explores the coming wealth transfer, the rise of women-led innovation, and why unlocking women’s economic participation could become one of Canada’s biggest growth opportunities.
