Women in Digital Summit – A digital future for everyone
Empowering women and driving innovation – takes from the Women in Digital Summit.
With Europe pursuing its ambitious target of 20 million ICT specialists by 2030, the Women in Digital Forum emerges as an essential infrastructure to strengthen women’s participation in the digital workspace.
Officially launched on June 19th, 2025, the Forum is connecting Member States, academia, industry, NGO, policy makers and civil society to turn research into actionable solutions and drive systemic change.
Those solutions were the key topics of discussions of the Women in Digital Summit, hosted in Brussels on 13th and 14th November, 2025 and part of the Digital Skills EU Days 2025. The Summit brought together leaders from industry, government and education to share insights and best practices aimed at closing the gender gap in digital roles both in education and career.
The event was a great learning occasion as it saw the official launch of the Women in Digital Index & Scoreboard, aimed at assessing with data the situation of women in digital across the different EU countries and beyond.
To inspire the change, the event hosted fireside chats with women in leadership positions, who can play as role models for future careers and drive the systemic change for empowering women in the ICT sector. Also, the Summit hosted technical yet practical sessions with policy makers who provided an overview of key actions to boost the number of women in digital in their respective EU Member States.
