What is the digital future for women?

DISCUSSION: Why do we need a functioning and competitive digital state?
Discussions about leadership in any field lose their meaning if the functioning of the state, by its very nature, places obstacles and does not create an environment for the fulfillment of these ambitions. What does it mean in practice if we want Slovakia to be a world leader in something? In its current state, will the public sector support or hamper such efforts? Let us look at this through the eyes of those whose activities and business are significantly affected by the efficiency of state operation, rapid administration, availability of skilled labor and other areas, and answer the question of how the state and its digitization should go further, if Slovakia is really to play a leading role in something.
Speakers: Veronika Remišová (Deputy Prime Minister of investments, regional development and informatization of the Slovak Republic), Ronald Blaško (AmCham), Radoslav Danilák (Tachyum), Mário Lelovský (Republican Union of Employers), Anna Záhorčáková (DITEC)

Women - an opportunity for IT
Not only in Slovakia, we are facing an acute shortage of skilled people who would be able to fill thousands of offered positions in IT. Still, headhunters can't attract enough women. There are nine male colleagues per lady in our sector, and the situation at universities is similar. There are several reasons. Prejudices and stereotypes, but also differences in the mentality of men and women. Why do women think they have to work for four to gain recognition in the male world? Is the excessive demands of women on themselves the reason why so few of us help to improve (not only) Slovak IT? What can we, as a society, do to prevent this opportunity from being missed? -
