Join us for the next event in Lisbon!

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming event on the crucial topic of "Why do we need more women in tech and what we can do about it?" 

For Portugal and Europe due to the underrepresentation of women in the tech sector, evident through a significant gender gap in employment and leadership positions. Startling statistics from Eurostat reveal that in 2020, only 17.9% of ICT specialists in Portugal were women, emphasizing the urgency of achieving greater gender balance.

By addressing this gender disparity and promoting the inclusion of more women in tech, we aim to harness the benefits that diverse perspectives, ideas, and problem-solving approaches bring to the industry. Encouraging women to pursue careers in technology can effectively address the existing skills gap in the industry. 

Date: June 15th 

Time: 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Location:  Springer Nature Office, R. Castilho 77, 1070-050 Lisboa
