In 2022, we hosted a groundbreaking session titled “The Role of Women in the Field of Power and Energy” with Dr. Esra’a Ali. This event aimed to shed light on the significant contributions women make to the power and energy sector, while also fostering important conversations about diversity and inclusion within this critical industry.

 

The session brought together a distinguished panel of female leaders working across various segments of the power and energy landscape.  These inspiring women shared their expertise, experiences, and insights on a range of topics, including:

  1. Breaking down barriers: The discussion explored the challenges women face in entering and advancing within the power and energy field. Panellists offered valuable advice and strategies for overcoming these hurdles.
  2. Shaping the future of energy: The session highlighted the unique perspectives and approaches that women bring to the table when it comes to innovation and problem-solving in the energy sector.
  3. Building a more inclusive industry: A key focus was on fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for women in the power and energy field. The conversation explored ways to encourage and empower the next generation of female leaders in this critical sector.

 

The session wasn’t just informative, it was also inspiring. The energy and passion displayed by the panellists were contagious, leaving the audience feeling motivated and empowered.

The impact of the “The Role of Women in the Field of Power and Energy” session extended far beyond the event itself. It sparked important conversations within our organisation and the wider industry about the importance of diversity and inclusion.
