Description

MWCapital and Ajuntament de Barcelona are happy to invite you to the event that is part of Biennal de Pensament. During the session, we will discuss what trends can be perceived, regarding the gender gap in the tech industry, within organizations at international level and how radical change can be created throughout the public and private sectors.

The technology industry is, nowadays, mostly a male territory. There are few women and even less in executive and managerial positions. The existing gender gap, resulting from the low number of girls who choose to study science and technology careers, is increasingly recognized as a problem that must be addressed both by the public and private sectors as well as by policy makers.

There are already initiatives and events that seek to raise awareness and promote the empowerment of women in the technology industry, but more can and should be done.

The session will close with the announcement of the winners for the international Call for Proposals on empowering women in the tech industry, launched by Mobile World Capital, in partnership with the City Council of Barcelona. The announced winners will receive support to implement their solutions in Barcelona.
