Overview
''The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
The ICMA Women’s Network (IWN) France hosted a discussion of the role of women in technological innovation, specifically innovations linked to financial markets. The representation of women within this ecosystem remains marginal. However, since the future of technologies should not be the one of inequalities, we proposed to various stakeholders to discuss the impacts of innovation on gender equality: Why are so few women represented in jobs with strong innovative or technological component? How can we make these areas an asset for gender equality?
Valérie FASQUELLE, Deputy General Director of the Information System (DGIS) and Sponsor for Innovation at Banque de France presented the Innovation Lab of Banque de France that was granted the label "Gender Equality European & International Standard AI" in 2023.
The keynote was followed by a panel discussion featuring panellists who are working in new technologies, innovation and digital. Theyshared their personal experience.
The conference concluded with a keynote from Hélène DECKX VAN RUYS, Co-pilot of the “Women and AI” working group at the French Laboratoire de l’égalité, who spoke about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on equality between women and men.
