Female FutureTech Summit 2024

The first women's network meeting as part of Quantum Effects 2024!

Women are increasingly successful in STEM subjects, including the quantum and hydrogen technology sector. More and more women are taking on management positions and making a significant contribution to breaking down prejudices.

This network meeting was organized to further promote this positive development and to strengthen the important role of women in the fields of natural sciences, computer science, mathematics and technology.

We were very pleased to welcome women's networks from the quantum industry and STEM subjects as well as exhibiting companies from Quantum Effects and hy-fcell. We especially welcomed the numerous students and interested parties who are enthusiastic about this pioneering field.

The summit took place on 8 October 2024 in ICS in room C6.1 from 12:00 to 16:00 for all persons with a trade fair ticket.

The networking event focused in 2024 on quantum technology. We welcomed women's networks in the quantum industry and STEM subjects, as well as exhibiting companies from Quantum Effects and hy-fcell. We were also looking forward to welcoming a large number of students and other interested parties who are working in the field.
