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.

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”.

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.

1.2.2019 Women in Tech -aamutreffit: Urban Insight – Mitä tekniseltä turvallisuudelta vaaditaan, jotta kaupungit ovat turvallisia? (Sweco), Helsinki

Tervetuloa Women in Tech -aamutreffeille 1.2.2019 Sweco-talolle keskustelemaan kaupunkien teknisestä turvallisuudesta, verkostoitumaan sekä nauttimaan yhteisestä aamiaisesta!

Urban Insight – Mitä tekniseltä turvallisuudelta vaaditaan, jotta kaupungit ovat turvallisia?

Haluamme keskustella kestävästä ja turvallisesta kaupunkikehityksestä. Miten sinä koet kaupunkien turvallisuuden? Minkälainen on turvallinen kaupunki? Miten selviät päivästäsi, jos sähköt katkeavat koko kaupungista tai rankkasade saa kadut tulvimaan?

Entä mikä riski siedetään? Miten automatisaatio vaikuttaa esimerkiksi teollisuuslaitoksen, kauppakeskuksen tai liikenteenohjauksen turvallisuuteen? Pitääkö rakennusinsinöörin ymmärtää kyberiä?

Globaaleja haasteita kaupunkien ja teollisuuden turvallisuudelle ovat ilmastonmuutos ja muuttuva luonto, digitalisaatio ja automatisaation lisääntyminen, tiiviimmät ja tiheämmin asutut kaupungit. Näitä haasteita voidaan taklata teknisen turvallisuuden kokonaishallinnan keinoin, mutta mitä se tarkoittaa?

Swecon Aamutreffeillä keskustelemme rakennetun ympäristön teknisestä turvallisuudesta, sen tekijöistä ja turvallisuuden hallinnasta. Keskustelua johtaa turvallistamisen erityisasiantuntija Sanna-Maria Järvensivu.

Ohjelma:
klo 7.30-8.00 Aamiainen ja verkostoitumista
klo 8.00-9.00 Johdatus aiheeseen ja keskustelua

Paikka: Sweco-talo, Ilmalanportti 2, Helsinki

Ilmoittautuminen aukeaa 7.1.2019 klo 12.00, jolloin ilmoittautumislinkki julkaistaan Facebook-tapahtuman keskustelussa. Huomioithan, että pelkkä Facebook-ilmoittautuminen ei riitä.

Aamutreffeille ovat tervetulleita kaikki naiset ja miehet, jotka ovat kiinnostuneita teknologiabisneksen tulevaisuudesta. Ei osallistumismaksua.

Tapahtuma on suomeksi.
