The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) will be joining the celebrations for the International Women’s Day, by hosting a webinar to raise awareness on the gendered impacts of innovation and technology. This online event will take place on 7 March at 11:00 – 13:00 CET to discuss concrete solutions and best practices to ensure that women and girls in the region have full access to innovation and technology.
Representatives of international and regional organisations and networks such as the European Commission, UNIDO, the Euro-Mediterranean-Arab Association and Womenpreneur as well as successful women entrepreneurs working in the field of digital platforms, AI and Tech in the MENA region, will share best practices and discuss solutions on how to ensure that we leave no-one behind from the digital transformation.
