In the digital age, we not only need more women represented in the industry, we also need women leadersSpeaking at Europe’s most important digital conference, Mrs Chen discussed the importance of having female role models and achieving gender balance in the tech industry: “Gender equality is not about women and men sharing the same mindsets and behavior. “In the digital age, we not only need more women represented in the industry, we also need women leaders,” Mrs Chen emphasised. Secondly, women themselves need to reject the stereotypes that the tech industry is too dull or too difficult for them. “We hope that more brilliant women will emerge in the tech industry for a more equal, open, and diverse future,” Mrs Chen concluded.
