As Europe’s industrial landscape evolves with digitalisation, sustainability goals, and tech advances, inclusive leadership has never been more crucial. The EU’s Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 set the stage for action, including the Women on Boards Directive in 2022, mandating 40% women in non-executive board positions at listed companies by 2026. While women’s presence on boards is rising, their numbers as CEOs or board chairs remain stubbornly low—especially in male-dominated sectors like STEM and manufacturing. This Euractiv event, supported by ACEA, will explore what can be done to close the gender gap and promote female leadership in the industry sector. 🗓 When: 28 November, 17:30–18:45 CET 📍 Where: #FutureDriven Experience Pop-up, Place du Luxembourg 26 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eteRWQA3
