The #WomenEnergizeWomen "Networking Forum: Women Shaping the Energy Transition" at Intersolar is an event designed to connect female professionals in the renewable energy and solar sectors, fostering meaningful exchanges and collaboration. As the global renewable energy job market is set to expand, with solar energy alone predicted to generate 18 million jobs by 2050, it is crucial to platform and promote women to bridge the skills gap. This event aims to provide a space for women to network, share expert knowledge on the latest industry innovations, and showcase their significant role in the energy transition. Activities include an expert fireside chat, speed networking, as well as opportunities for informal networking. Food and refreshments will be provided.
This networking session is organized on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) within the global initiative Women Energize Women by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and in cooperation with Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar) with supporting partners the Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energie (BEE) and Women in Solar+ Europe (WISEu).
About Women Energize Women:
Women Energize Women is a global communication initiative, which provides a platform to showcase women's expertise, highlighting their technical knowledge and indispensable impact on the energy sector as well as underscoring their critical role in driving the success of the energy transition. It has a two-pronged approach: first, the implementation of specialized panel discussions and networking forums, and second, a global social media campaign which showcases female role models and sensitizes the public to women's key position in the energy transition. It is implemented on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) within the scope of BMWK's global project Bilateral Climate and Energy Partnerships and Dialogues.
