📅 6 – 7 July 2021
Technological changes, including digitalization, have been accelerated by the Covid-19 health crisis. Digital transformation presents a major tool for empowering women to enable their inclusion in labor markets, in entrepreneurial and financial activities, particularly with a view on future challenges. However, women in the Euro-Mediterranean region face a persistent gender gap in access and use of digital technologies, in digital skills, and in the digital labor market, and face certain online risks when engaging with new technologies.
This year, the Women Business Forum will join the international community to further analyze how digitalization can help empower women as entrepreneurs, traders, workers, and professionals as well as discuss the necessary policy measures required to ensure that digitalization does not leave women behind.
