Within the PIB Deeptech Japan programme, we work on strengthening the collaboration between the Dutch and Japanese deep tech ecosystems. That collaboration is not only about technology, but also about the people who drive it.
That is why we organise a PIB Female Day Tech Seminar on Thursday 29 October in the Greenhouse, High Tech Campus 27 in Eindhoven, from 14:00 to 18:00.
More women (at the top) in High-Tech NL and Japan: What can we do?
During the event, we will look into what we, as High-Tech organisations in the Netherlands and Japan, can do to increase the representation of women (at the top). Supported by two external parties (We In Quantum Development and Connectify), we will learn about opportunities for optimising our decision-making processes, relevant for both recruitment and selection and internal promotions (during an interactive workshop). We will also hear about women’s experiences of reaching senior positions (panel discussion). Lastly, we will have the opportunity to bring everything together ourselves and think about what to drop, add, keep, and improve in our own everyday practices (DAKI).
Women in High-Tech in the NL & JPN
The High-Tech sector in both the Netherlands and Japan continues to grow, but women remain underrepresented, especially in technical and leadership positions. Increasing diversity is not only important for equal opportunities, but also helps organisations strengthen innovation, creativity and decision-making.
This event brings together professionals from both countries to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and explore practical ways to attract, retain and promote more women in the High-Tech sector.
