This year, on December 15, AFA with support of USAID and Impact HUB Belgrade, organized a virtual event Women’s Leadership Summit 2020, whit central topic Women in the Age of Automation.
There is a rising importance for women to be skilled, mobile and tech-savvy, so they can transition to higher-skilled positions by 2030 and stay a competitive workforce in the digital economy. Otherwise, women will be left further behind and face even a higher wage gap.
The overall objective of this year’s Summit was to raise awareness of how fast-growing technologies affect the position of women not only in the labor market, but also in everyday life, since women are less digitally literate than men.
In addition to numerous local and international Corporate leaders, Government representatives, Diplomats, representatives of domestic and foreign Academic community, Start-ups, NGO Activists, New generation of leaders, one of the participants was our CEO, Ivana Ružičić.
Ivana participated in the panel “The only way is up – technology as an opportunity for women’s leapfrog” with Maya Vujinović, CEO of OGroup (start-up) & former CIO at General Electric, Maya Strelar-Migotti, CEO of 4PIA, Inc (start-up) and Managing Director of Golden Seeds, Ivana Cvejić, Co-Founder and CEO of Renhead (start-up) and Jelena Zdravković, Vice Head of Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University.
