Panel Discussion Topic: Uniting Women in Tech Across Borders: Regional Strategies and Collaborations

This panel discussion will delve into the multifaceted challenges and opportunities faced by women in the technology sector, with a particular focus on the Middle East. In a region marked by patriarchal societal norms, cultural and gender challenges, and a developing tech ecosystem, the role of ecosystems, relevant organizations, government policies, and cross-border collaborations becomes crucial. Our panelists will discuss strategies and initiatives that can be implemented on a regional level, and collaborations between different ecosystems to empower women in tech and drive meaningful change across borders.
