Thriving in the digital world

Women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, especially in the information and communications technology (ICT) field, where only one in five specialists are female. To help address this imbalance, Cisco’s Women in Science and Engineering network marked International Girls in ICT Day 2025 with a global broadcast and local events across Europe, offering mentorship, skills workshops and networking opportunities. From Krakow to Lisbon, initiatives inspired girls to explore careers in technology and empowered them to shape the digital future.
