In the run-up to the third edition of Digital Week, to be held from 12 to 16 November 2019, the Ministry of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, in partnership with the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES), launched the “Les Amazones du Digital” competition online.
This challenge aims to stimulate the creation and growth of women-led businesses in order to contribute to job creation through digital technology.
Twenty candidates from across the country were shortlisted following the call for applications, in which some fifty women took part. They took part in a two-day training and coaching programme delivered by four members of the international association “Women and Men in Environment and Artificial Intelligence” (WOMENVAI).
They then presented their pitch to a jury made up of the “femmes digitales 229”, a member of the Ministry of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation and a representative of WOMENVAI.
The three winners of the competition will be announced and rewarded at the Digital Week gala evening, to be held on Thursday 14 November 2019.
