Last Thursday, 21st of July, a conference was held in Vigo as part of the TecnoL\u00f3xicas project<\/a>, an initiative promoted by the Galician Association of Metal Industries and Associated Technologies (Asime<\/a>) and the Provincial Government of Pontevedra, in collaboration with the Galician School of Engineers.<\/p>\n

The focal point of the event - opened by the president of Asime, Enrique Mall\u00f3n, and the President of the Provincial Government, Carmela Silva and which included the participation of several leading female engineers in the region\u2019s industry - was the need to enhance the profile of women in the technological sector.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, and as Mall\u00f3n himself said, TecnoL\u00f3xicas is a \u201chistorical and exciting project that will initiate a new trend in female technological employment. For the first time, we are going to bring together the company's needs with women\u2019s training so that a real change can take place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silva on the other hand, stressed that \u201cwomen aren\u2019t a collective\u201d but half of the world\u2019s population. Therefore, \u201cexcluding them from jobs of the future, such as technology and innovation, is losing half of the talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The importance of educating from the beginning<\/span><\/h2>\n

After the participation of institutional representatives, there was a discussion panel,<\/span> moderated <\/span>by Lorena Rosende, CEO of Grupo Itera<\/span> and representative of Asime. Three female <\/span>engineers of the region\u2019s industrial network took part: Ant\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez L\u00f3pez, Innovation <\/span>Manager for Gradiant\u2019s strategic markets, Marta J. Fern\u00e1ndez Docampo, Senior Project <\/span>Manager of Gestamp Vigo and Chelo Dom\u00ednguez, Manager of GKN Vigo.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of them agreed on the need to highlight womens\u2019 roles in engineering and in the <\/span>technological sector in general;<\/span> a task that must begin at an early age<\/span>. \u201cWe have to tell young <\/span>girls the truth,\u201d Rosende highlighted, \u201craise awareness of future challenges, that high quality and <\/span>well-paid jobs are in the field of technology. We have to show them the scope of developing their <\/span>lives independently through professions of the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
