🌟 When we talk about women and women empowerment, we aren't excluding men!
Remember last October@ufmsecretariat & UNIDO Women Business Forum in Tunisia and its buzz?🎉
Good moments and fantastic people to meet, but this event was more than that.
Did you know? Only 25% of received training, despite 65% wanting it. The 26% gender gap in AI jobs highlights the need for reform. The topic "Women in and : can industry 4.0 foster women's economic inclusion in the MENA region" was appropriate because while women often work in hand crafts or services, some are also in manufacturing and industry 4.0 but not enough. We need to encourage them to go there.
Industries drive and enable national economic and social growth. Thus, Industry 4.0 must include more women.
Our founder chiraz Bensemmane falicitated a a brainstorming session focused on the crucial "Need of women in industry 4.0 & tech." A call to action, not just a conversation. With 30 women entrepreneurs and wome from the entrepreneurial ecosytem, they addressed challenges and explored policy,education & financial support options to address them and increase women's inclusion and engagement. It was about creating a change plan.
This 2 day event was also the opportunity to network & hear from all the different stakeholders agencies, ministries,entrepreneurs, clusters etc, men & women!
We moderated a session on digitalization, AI, and sustainable growth. It wasn't just about tech jargon; it's about deciphering the impact of these innovations on our businesses and communities. but there were also talking on glass ceiling,limitation.
