In celebration of International Women’s Day , we are hosting a special event dedicated to celebrating Portuguese women working in Artificial Intelligence and Data . Our goal is to highlight role models in the AI ecosystem, while also inspiring girls and young women to explore these fields, build confidence, and envision themselves in technical and leadership roles.
Designed for students, early-career professionals, and anyone interested in AI, Data, and technology , this is a safe, open, and welcoming space for honest conversations about careers in AI. By bringing together women at different stages of their professional journeys, we aim to promote diversity, equality, and inclusion , and to help bridge the confidence and representation gap that still exists in the tech industry.
