International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year, Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN are bringing together remarkable companies and individuals to applaud the achievements of women innovators and to drive powerful conversations.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the Women in Innovation programme which forms an integral part of Innovate UK’s 2021-2025 Plan for Action for UK Business Innovation. Through the Women in Innovation programme, we are nurturing pioneering women to embrace innovation, expand, continue to grow and develop their own diverse teams for positive economic, environmental, and societal change.

Our FREE one-day online conference will be jam-packed with thought-provoking panel discussions, inspirational speakers, and innovative ideas.

This annual event aims to inspire emerging women innovators, highlight the many inspirational women role models working within the UK, bring together allies, as well as strengthening the UK as a world leader in innovation and gender inclusion.

• Take part in a range of webinars, workshops, and panel sessions by influential thought leaders and innovators from all walks of life
  Gain insights into topic areas such as the role of empathy, inclusion and vulnerability in social innovation, intersectionality in the innovation ecosystem,
• Why allyship needs to be a commitment from all of us, the role of women leadership in developing a common, sustainable future, and much more
• Contribute to the discussions, meet and hear from the female visionaries who are “breaking the bias” while making positive change across industries.

This virtual conference aims to leave you feeling inspired and encouraged to continue the conversation and take action within your community, workplace, and any other groups that are important to you. It will also provide you with knowledge on the opportunities available for you and your business.
