We Want More Women in Tech!

Technology companies need, more than ever, women's skills and knowledge. Broad thinking gives birth to the best products and solutions. Women in Tech activities aim to discuss how women could have a larger role in creating success stories in business and technology. Diversity brings business value!

Women in Tech is an organisation network for promoting technology careers for women. Its member companies understand the virtue of diversity and encourage open discussion and sharing of knowledge among women and men working in the technology industry. The activities of the network are free and open to all.

Women in Tech activities include monthly Breakfast Dates, that have become super popular both in Helsinki and other cities. Main event of the network is the bi-annual Women in Tech Forum that has been organised in Finland 2013, 2015 and 2017.

The next Women in Tech Week is taking place 7-11 October 2019. The whole week is dedicated to Women in Tech events and it culminates in Women in Tech Forum - an international one-day event held on the 11 October 2019 in Finlandia Hall, Helsinki. This time, Women in Tech Forum is organised under the theme “Impact Our Future”.

The Forum will be live-streamed also!

Upcoming Events

Women in Tech Forum and Week are organized bi-annually. Breakfast Dates are monthly and they are hosted by members of Women in Tech network.

05.11.19 Women In Tech Breakfast Date: Tulevaisuuden Energiayhteisöt (Empower), Tampere

Theme: WiT Breakfast Date: Tulevaisuuden Energiayhteisöt (Empower), Tampere

Tervetuloa Women in Tech -aamutreffeille oppimaan tulevaisuuden energiayhteisöistä ja verkostoitumaan sekä nauttimaan herkullisesta aamiaisesta!

Pinnalla oleva keskustelu energian ilmastoystävällisistä tuotantotavoista ei ole ainoa keino kohti päästöttömämpää energiajärjestelmää. Merkittävässä roolissa tulevaisuudessa on myös meidän jokaisen kyky reagoida sähkönkulutukseen ja vaikuttaa aktiivisesti omaan sekä yhteisönsä sähkönkäyttöön.

Aamun teemana ovat tulevaisuuden energiayhteisöt, jotka mahdollistavat sähkön tuottamisen ja tuotetun sähkön kuluttamisen ja jakamisen yhteisön jäsenten kesken. Yhteisöjen asema, oikeudet ja velvollisuudet eivät vielä ole Suomessa täysin selkeitä, mutta tilaus yhteisöille on olemassa ja EU-komission puhtaan energian paketissa ne nähdään osana ilmastonmuutoksen torjumiseksi tapahtuvaa ratkaisua.

Tule kuulemaan kuinka energiamarkkinan odotetaan muuttuvan energiayhteisöjen myötä ja millaisia edistysaskelia maailmalla on jo otettu asian tiimoilta.

Keskustelun alustaa Empowerin Sirpa Repo, joka työssään edistää puhtaan energian ratkaisuja ja kehittää energiayhteisöiden markkinamallia kansainvälisten projektien kautta. Sirpa vastaa uusiutuvan energian käytön lisäämiseen keskittyvästä Dominoes –hankkeesta ja on lisäksi mukana muun muassa energiajoustoon keskittyvässä Interrface –projektissa sekä Smart Otaniemi –kokonaisuudessa luomassa kaupankäyntimallia paikallisille energiamarkkinoille. Lisäksi Sirpa vaikuttaa Euroopan innovaatioklusteri ITEAn ohjausryhmässä.

Tapahtumapaikkana toimii Bistro Naapuri Tampereen keskustassa.
