Irena Lemut Čeh, founder and CEO of Labena Group, will speak at the WomenIn Business conference about building a company that grows with purpose, resilience, and innovation.
Since founding Labena in 1993, Irena has led its expansion across Southeast Europe, turning a small business into a regional leader in laboratory technology, research, and development.
Her focus on new technologies, resource management, and international collaboration has helped Labena grow into a multi-pillar organization supporting pharma, biotech, food, and academia.
At the conference, she will explain how strong leadership, strategic thinking, and investment in people can turn bold ideas into long-term impact.
She will also share insights into managing growth, supporting talent, and keeping a clear vision while navigating change.
Irena’s story shows that leadership is about more than results—it’s about building something that lasts and brings value to others.
This session will focus on innovation in business, the importance of scientific development, and how leaders can drive progress while staying rooted in strong values.
Attendees will gain practical advice on how to lead with purpose and build organizations that adapt, grow, and inspire.
