The slow progress of women in technology roles
Despite decades of discussion, the percentage of women in tech has barely increased, especially in Central European countries.
#2about 3 minutes
Why some countries have more women in STEM fields
Cultural and economic factors, such as historical work requirements in Eastern Europe or the perception of tech as a path to a better life in India, lead to higher female participation in STEM.

Engaging girls in technology from an early age
The lack of mandatory and creative computer science education in early schooling is a key reason why girls lose interest in technology during their teenage years.
#4about 6 minutes
Attracting women to tech by focusing on purpose
Women are often motivated by a desire to solve meaningful human problems, so framing tech roles around purpose and teamwork is more effective than focusing on purely technical challenges.
#5about 3 minutes
Why women leave technology jobs mid-career
Women often leave tech roles mid-career due to non-inclusive team cultures, communication style clashes, and feeling unheard in male-dominated environments.
#6about 5 minutes
How leaders can build confidence in female talent
Leaders can support and retain women by providing direct encouragement and reassurance, as hesitation often signals self-doubt rather than a lack of capability or interest.
#7about 6 minutes
The role of human oversight in the age of AI
AI is a powerful tool but still requires human validation, critical thinking, and creativity, as it is an algorithm that follows instructions without true understanding or serendipity.
#8about 5 minutes
The business impact of building diverse tech teams
Diverse and heterogeneous teams significantly improve business outcomes, but this requires a deliberate investment in team building to ensure mutual respect and effective collaboration.
