Melania Trump Plans IMPERIA Launch During UNGA Week
Melania Trump plans to introduce a new group called IMPERIA.
It is meant for women who lead large companies.
The group will be invitation-only, so only selected senior business leaders can attend.
Its goal is to help these leaders work together, discuss investments and influence policies.
Melania is also promoting a separate program about children's education, technology and online safety.
That program will be discussed during a United Nations meeting week in New York.
She is then expected to join Donald Trump for a visit by China's president, Xi Jinping.
The article also mentions a March 2026 summit and other dates, creating some uncertainty about the schedule's timeline.
Melania Trump is scheduled to launch IMPERIA on September 23, 2025, at the New York Stock Exchange.
The invitation-only forum is designed for women chief executives and senior corporate leaders.
Adviser Marc Beckman described IMPERIA as a platform for business relationships, capital movement, policy influence and cross-industry collaboration.
Melania will also promote Fostering the Future Together, her initiative on children's education, technology and online safety, during United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week.
The schedule is expected to include a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, on September 24.
