Celebrating the Success of Women in Tech 2024!
Yesterday's #WomeninTech2024 event was a resounding success, thanks to the insightful discussions and the inspiring presence of H.E. Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi.
The Portuguese Business Council - UAE was captivated by the exploration of how #AI is transforming industries and empowering women to innovate in fields like #healthcare, #technology, #business creation, media, and entertainment. We also delved into the crucial role of women in AI development, ensuring that diverse perspectives shape the future of technology. The panel discussions highlighted the importance of gender diversity in AI, the challenges women face in the industry, and the collective efforts needed to build a more inclusive future in tech.
Furthermore, we explored how AI is revolutionizing healthcare. The panel discussed the critical role of AI in early detection, personalized care, and preventive health solutions for women. It was inspiring to hear about the innovative solutions that are reshaping the future of healthcare and improving outcomes for women globally. Always a privilege to hear the thoughts of Mohamed Alameri, PhD, AFHEA, and Dr. Hawaa Althahak Almansoori.
Joana de Almeida had the privilege of participating in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled "AI, Government, and Gender Equality." Expert panelists shared their insights on how AI can reshape governance, drive gender equality, and empower women in leadership roles.
The Portuguese Business Council - UAE is committed to fostering an ecosystem that supports equity, and innovation, and empowers more women to excel in the tech industry.
We look forward to future collaborations with Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park), H.E. Hussain Al Mahmoudi, and Dr Asma M. Fikri, to attract Portuguese companies to the SRTIP Healthcare Ecosystem, a thriving hub that brings together the expertise of SRTIP, Sharjah Health Authority, American University of Sharjah, and public and private Sharjah hospitals.
Let's continue to champion women in tech in the region, AI for Good, AI in Health, and ... drive innovation for a brighter future!

Another amazing discussion on AI, this time Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park), with a surprising moderation of Mohamed Alameri, PhD, AFHEA.
Bravo, Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park)!
... ... AI is revolutionizing healthcare, from early disease detection to personalized treatment plans. But with this progress comes the need for responsible implementation. ⚖️
Regulation plays a crucial role in ensuring ethical and trustworthy AI in healthcare. We need frameworks that encourage innovation while mitigating risks to patient safety and privacy. Here's where the collaboration between G42 and Microsoft, establishing the Center for Responsible AI in Abu Dhabi, becomes exciting.
By establishing a Center for Responsible AI in Abu Dhabi, they could:
- Develop best practices for AI implementation in healthcare, fostering trust and transparency.
- Identify and address ethical concerns surrounding data privacy and bias in AI algorithms.
- Educate stakeholders on responsible AI development and deployment in the healthcare sector.
This initiative can position Abu Dhabi as a leader in responsible AI within the Middle East and beyond.

Reflecting on the strides made in tech, this year's UN theme for #InternationalWomensDay resonates deeply. Despite the progress, we must acknowledge the road ahead, particularly what must be done to tackle the underrepresentation of women in tech roles across South Africa and the continent. At CAPACITI, we recognise this reality and actively empower women through digital skills development. Our current cohorts boast an impressive 61% female participation, surpassing our own average of 53% over the past few years. We will continue to collaborate with partners and funders to create more opportunities for women in tech to thrive. Because investing in women, is THE accelerator for progress.🚀💙 #IWD2024
As we recognize the achievements and contributions of women around the world, Startup Nation Finder is delving into the progress of women in Israeli tech. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eeMtXWdW
We are shining a spotlight on female founders and co-founders, as well as the companies, funds, and accelerators driving change. These stakeholders stand out for surpassing the industry average and supporting female entrepreneurship.
Despite notable progress, there's still work to be done in breaking down barriers and fostering a more inclusive and diverse tech ecosystem.
This International Women's Day, let's commit to a more inclusive future for women in tech. 💪🌐
