12x12 Congress - Premis Dona Women Awards TIC 2017:
It is a platform where they award women in technology for their contribution and involvement in technology advancement in Catalonia, Spain. They also did not only discuss companies that develop programs to include and promote women involvement, but also awarded these companies.
This event is a great initiative by the goverment of Catalonia to empower and ecourage local women to be part of its technology advancement. It is human to give more and work harder when you are included and receive recognition for your work. This is something more communities could do!
Some of the winners were TIC entrepreneur ´Mar Alarcón´, TIC students ´Marina Blasco´ and ´Ester Lorente´, and TIC professional ´Ana Sabater´. The company who won the category ´Woman TIC Business Initiative´ was Oracle with their program ´Oracle4Girls´. Another company in Spain that was discussed about and deserves to be recognized as well for their girl inclusion programs, is HP. More on the initiative and inclusion programs of these companies in another post in our section ´Diversity in Companies´
The most powerful words shared at the award were by HP, go as follows:
´Diversity and Inclusion is not just a moral imperative - it is a business imperative´
After the award, there was a small reception held with lots of delicious canapes and drinks to celebrate. This was a good way to network and meet people interested in the same area as you. Networking is equally important to show your voice and involvement.
