The “Women in Future Energies” forum offers participants the opportunity to network, exchange stories, and share ideas on their involvement in future energy endeavors.
The evening’s program includes two panel discussions that will delve into the presence and impact of women in the renewable energy sector and the opportunities available to them in this rapidly evolving industry. The panelists will also be invited to express their viewpoints on the role of women in propelling the energy transition, addressing climate change, and promoting sustainable practices.
“Women possess unique knowledge, skills, and perspectives that can contribute significantly to the development of a sustainable energy industry for the future. Recognizing this, GHSO aims to amplify women’s voices and leadership in the transition to clean energy. Women have a pivotal role in driving innovative solutions for the energy sector. By nurturing a pipeline of women leaders, ‘Women in Future Energies’ aims to foster inclusive and sustainable development, inviting women to unite for our shared future,” the organizers said in a statement.
