About L-DIH Talks 


The L-DIH Talks is a series of webinars designed to inspire future-oriented manufacturing companies eager to leverage emerging technologies to stay ahead of the curve. Held twice a month, the series provides essential insights, expert advice and connections to drive the digital transformation of the sector in Luxembourg and the Greater Region. 

Empowering women to thrive in tech and industrial fields

The industrial and digital sectors are evolving at an unprecedented pace, creating exciting opportunities for innovation and growth. However, these sectors face a growing talent gap, with women remaining significantly underrepresented. 

Despite making up almost half of Europe’s workforce, women account for only 19% of ICT specialists in the EU. Bridging this gap is not just a matter of equity — it is a strategic imperative for Europe’s competitiveness and innovation capacity. 

This webinar will bring together Patricia Souza and Chloe Camus, two accomplished experts in cybersecurity, digital inclusion and STEM education, to explore actionable strategies that individuals, organisations and ecosystems can adopt to address this issue. 

Drawing from their work with Women4Cyber and other initiatives, the speakers will share insights on expanding access to technical careers, strengthening skill development, and fostering inclusive environments where diverse talent can thrive.
