Perspektywy Women in Tech

ŻEBY ZMIENIĆ JĘZYK NA POLSKI KLIKNIJ TUTAJ

Do you feel it in your bones too ? This will be the Year of Bold Choices: life choices, career choices, technological choices, political choices. Think about how you want to exist in this world. What is important to you? What do you want to give and what would you like to take?
What is your next Bold Step?
to us an important subject is Ukraine and its future, which will be created by women. We want to equip 30,000 thousand of those women who are currently in Poland with digital skills, necessary for the times after the war. They are strong and wonderful - they really need us now!
We will also continue our mission for the climate. The next Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit, the biggest event for women in technologies in Europe and the first CLimate Positive Event in Poland, will set the future standards in the care of our planet.
We will also, as we have for the last 16 years, devotedly support the next generation of wonderful and smart women in technologies and sciences, especially in IT, Deep Tech, Game-Dev, Data Science, and broadly-understood engineering. With our Partners we will implement 15 programmes for them. And why not! You only live once :)

We are looking into the future bravely, because we know that we will meet you there.

See you in 2023:)!

UKRAINE - INCUBATING FREEDOM

30,000 Women in Technologies will rebuild Ukraine

On 1 December 2022, at the “Post War Innovative Transformation of Ukraine” conference in Lublin we have launched a multiscale INCUBATING FREEDOM for Ukraine – Adapting Women to Digital Economyy project, aimed at providing long-term help in post-war rebuilding of Ukraine and supporting the Ukrainian society during the coming changes. In “INCUBATING FREEDOM for Ukraine – Adapting Women to Digital Economy” we want, together with leading Polish universities, partner companies and organisations, to train, educate and reskill over 30 thousand women refugees from Ukraine, so that their knowledge, competencies, and determination could serve as well as possible the digitising economy in a country devastated by war.

Scholarships for Ukrainian women in STEM

At the “INCUBATING FREEDOM - Post War Innovative Transformation of Ukraine” conference in Lublin we also launched, together with Intel, a special scholarship programme New Technologies for Women – Ukraine (NTWU). 50 female students and PhD students from Ukraine, studying currently in STEM fields, were accepted. Apart from an annual scholarship in the amount of PLN 20,000, access to a series of workshops and a mentoring programme, the participants will join the prestigious Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2023 - the biggest event for women in technologies in Europe.

Support for our activities in Ukraine

We want, together with leading Polish universities, partner companies and organisations, to train, educate and reskill over 30 thousand women refugees from Ukraine, so that their knowledge, competencies, and determination could serve as well as possible the digitising economy in a country devastated by war.
Wonderful people and institutions have decided to support the “INCUBATING FREEDOM” project, here are some of them:

Agata Kornhauser-Duda: I am happy such an initiative appeared

“Thanks to this important event, Ukrainian women will have a chance to gain IT skills and use them in the best possible way in the future,” said the wife of the Polish President, Andrzej Duda, Agata Kornhauser-Duda.

Mark Brzezinski: I am proud to support this project

“At the UN General Assembly in New York the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, asked the world: ‘What doors will you open for the Ukrainian women who were forced to leave their homes?’ Today, at this conference, Poland is answering this question and again rises to the occasion,” said Mark Brzezinski, the US Ambassador to Poland.

Mariya Gabriel: the of Ukraine depends on qualified women

“The ‘Incubating Freedom for Ukraine’ initiative brings an important message: despite war and the resulting delay in activities supporting gender equality, Ukrainian women have huge potential to help in rebuilding Ukraine,” said Mariya Gabriel, the EU Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth.

Helena Dalli: We need to help on equal basis

“Thanks to all for the support you are giving to the people of Ukraine fleeing the war and Russian aggression. The solidarity expressed by the Europeans, especially the Poles, during this crisis is exemplary,” said Helena Dalli, the EU Commissioner for Equality.

Janusz Cieszyński:

This conference and the project inaugurated during it are a very important matter for me personally. It is digital support that allows us to change reality, so I hope that the seeds that will be sown here today will sprout in the future. - said the guest in Lublin Janusz Cieszyński, Minister of Digitization, Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Government Plenipotentiary for Cybersecurity

Aleksander Kwaśniewski:

This project is of the utmost importance and I am glad that I can be here and that there is such wide support for it on both the Polish and Ukrainian sides! - said Aleksander Kwasniewski, former President of the Republic of Poland.
