As semiconductor production increases exponentially in the U.S., companies will need a highly skilled workforce of scientists and engineers to develop the next generation of semiconductor chips, and women and diverse leaders must be part of this equation. In the spirit of Moore’s Law, we need to double the number of women in leadership roles in the industry and STEM-focused women candidates joining the industry. Join us in the #EqualityLounge at #MWC24 for a conversation on why rejuvenating the U.S. semiconductor industry will only be successful with women and minorities in the workforce. • Ronda Carnegie, Chief Innovation Officer, The Female Quotient • Nicole Wakefield, Partner, PwC • Kamila Sidiqi, Founder & Managing Director, Kaweyan Sustainable Solutions  • Angela Baker, Chief Sustainability Officer, Qualcomm

Today, on International Women's Day, I want to shine a spotlight on the incredible women in the semiconductor industry. This isn't just about one day - it's a relentless pursuit of equity, every day. 🌍 Our industry is at the forefront of innovation, and women are playing a pivotal role. Yet, there's a lot more road to travel. In Europe, only 25% of STEM roles are held by women. Let's change that together. In the trenches of semiconductor advancements, I've seen firsthand the ingenuity and resilience of women engineers, researchers, and leaders. They're not just closing the gender gap; they're completely redefining it. 💡 👩🔬 We need your perspectives to drive the future of tech, to bring fresh ideas, and solve complex challenges. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned professional, your contribution is essential. So here's my call to action: If you're a woman in the semiconductor industry, step forward. Speak at conferences, mentor the next generation, and challenge the status quo. And if you're looking to take a step into the semiconductor industry, reach out. Let's make this journey together. 👭 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech

🌸 Happy International Women's Day! 🌸 Today, as we celebrate the incredible achievements of women around the globe, I'm reminded of a lesson that has guided me throughout my life and career: We can be whoever we want to be. Growing up, my parents instilled in me the belief that my potential was limitless. My dad, a mechanic, taught me how to drive not just a car but a motorbike, bus, tractor, and truck. Those lessons were about more than just vehicles; they were about life. They taught me about resilience, adaptability, and the courage to navigate any path I choose. This Women's Day, I'm reflecting on how these lessons resonate with the journey of Product Discovery. Just like in life, the path to discovering and creating products that truly make a difference is filled with learning, growth, and the courage to chart unknown territories. It's about believing in our ability to innovate, to transform challenges into opportunities, and to be the heroes of our own stories. Let's celebrate today and any other day, by embracing the journey of discovery, in both our personal lives and our work. Let's commit to breaking barriers, challenging the status quo, and inspiring the next generation of women to dream big. To all the incredible women out there, remember: you are capable of amazing things. 🚀 #InternationalWomensDay #ProductDiscovery #Innovation #WomenInTech

This is not just another group photo we took for social media purposes. This picture shows who inspires me to do my best work every day: our Inventors of the Year. Honoring our Siemens inventors is very close to my heart because they embody the core of what Siemens stands for: innovation. They are the ones who drive innovation, find answers to our customers' biggest problems and change everyday life for everyone. I'm especially pleased to see so many female inventors. They are role models for women and girls, showing them how their inventions create a lasting impact – for our company, our customers, and society as a whole. The brilliant women in this picture have achieved such things as revolutionizing the transparency and understanding of AI decisions, improving the design process in factory automation through an AI system, and much more. From developing a "customer heartbeat" to introducing innovative security solutions for industrial networks, all of these inventions remind us of the power of innovation. They remind us of the need to take action in our world and find solutions that have a lasting impact. The road to recognition has not always been easy for some of these exceptional women. It's a harsh reality, but it's important to recognize that women still often face significant obstacles in male-dominated workplaces and have to contend with stereotypes, such as not being able to be "real engineers" - a concept based purely on bias and prejudice. I am so proud that despite these challenges, they have persevered and overcome barriers with their unwavering determination and ingenuity, making an invaluable contribution to their field of work and encouraging others to do the same. Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me every day why I love doing what I do so much! Happy International Women's Day - I can't wait to see what other inventions you have in store. 👏 #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion

🌟 Happy International Women's Day! Today, we raise our glasses to the brilliant women who are making waves in the (tech) world! 💪 Here at DINAPE, we understand the crucial role diversity plays in driving innovation as our CEO Hedwig Haberlehner outlines: "Nothing is impossible - the word itself says 'I am possible.' For those women and men to whom creativity, the spirit of creation, and a curiosity for the new or learning were ingrained - I position "technology" as a potent expressive tool right within their hearts. Possibilities are limitless. Ever-evolving demands, dynamic approaches, and swift technological progress offer boundless opportunities to creatively tackle problems or generate benefits for society. Especially on International Women's Day, it is a chance to explicitly remind women of this drive for creative innovation and express gratitude to those who serve as guiding lights, inspiring others to harness their talents. Go for IT! A heartfelt thanks to all our male and female employees." To find out more about the influence women have in the tech world click here: https://lnkd.in/gGYgkJ_H

Fostering an inclusive workplace environment is essential to our success and it takes everyone’s commitment and support.

As a female engineer, I know from my own experience how challenging it can be to hold your own in a deeply technical environment such as embedded systems and electronics. Women in such professions are often confronted with skepticism and reservations, instead of a leap of faith in their own competence. That's why I'm all the more pleased to be taking part in the #women4ew women's network event at embedded world Exhibition&Conference as a speaker and table captain! My topic is "Making strengths and skills visible, overcoming prejudices: Self-confidence in technical professions". Together with the participants, I would like to share experiences and discuss how we can deal with such situations professionally and competently: ❓ How do we approach (new) customers, colleagues and business partners competently and confidently? ❓ What strategies do we use to discuss issues at eye level? ❓ How can we present our skills to the outside world? ❓ How do we assume leadership in our areas? Together with my Table Captain colleagues Stefani Eisele, Magdalena Daxenberger, Eva Gengler, Sandra Rivera and Nadja Eder, I look forward to exchanging ideas with you and am excited to see what we can all learn from each other! Meet us tomorrow, 10.04.2024 at 4 pm, NCC-Mitte, Saal Brüssel 1 #embeddedworld #womenintech #selfconfidence #empowerment #leadership

As part of the 2023 International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) celebration, Renesas’ Women in Technology Employee Resource Group hosted virtual, employee-led TED Talk discussions where participants shared their ideas and personal experiences on how women can support each other at work. Some key takeaways from global sessions included how confidence and support from team members and managers can help women overcome imposter syndrome. They also emphasized the importance of using clear hiring criteria and a mixed interviewing panel to ensure a diverse workforce. Participants from around the world also addressed unique challenges for women, such as the lack of representation (10-15% women in technical or engineering roles) driven by the low percentage of young girls pursuing higher education and career in STEM-related fields and the lack of support for mothers returning to the workforce. Collaborative sessions generated many actionable ideas, including finding allies you can trust at work, being transparent about your needs and career plans, and giving recognitions.
