Femme Forward Kick Off

The kickoff event highlights the diverse careers of women in tech. We discuss the questions: How can women become more enthusiastic about technical professions? What do companies need to do to attract more female professionals? What opportunities do women have for lateral entry into technical professions? Companies, interested parties, and of course all participants and contributors of the Femme Forward Programme are invited.
