Emerging Technologies and importance of Digital literacy
New technologies rapidly change the way we interact, work and live creating new digital civilisation. Due to lack of female leaders in tech, women are not equally represented. On Women’s Leadership Summit AFA will gather the representatives of leading tech companies from the region to discuss future of employment and how gender balanced teams can be formed in order to involve female principle in the creation of a future digital society.
On this year’s Women’s Leadership Summit, we have invited the prominent professionals and leaders to discuss the importance of digital literacy which is a vital skill for the workforce in a digital age, as well as the inevitable retraining and reskilling processes and digital inclusion as a key for future growth and prosperity.
25th of October 2019, 9 am — 6 pm, Hotel Hyatt Regency
Sustainable economy
How can we use technologies to address sustainability and how companies are striving towards circular economy in order to achieve the goal of creating a better society?
The Power of Networks and Networking
One of the reasons why women are still not equally represented on C-level positions and are less successful and underpaid, is lack of networking and self-promotion. We will discuss with the leaders from different fields the importance of the creation of own network for ideas and knowledge exchange and support in career and life.

While looking for a job in my area of expertise exactly 4 years ago, I started helping others on a project called Uradi-Zaradi (it wasn’t called like that back then) and I realized that all the obstacles I came across in my entrepreneurship path and all the people that we have met are too interesting and that the space for work and development was unlimited. Even though I have quickly found a job in a foreign IT company, which was nice and I have learned a lot, I decided to devote myself to startup and finally, after last year I quit my full-time job and became a full-time entrepreneur.
It turned out to be a great idea because Uradi-zaradi already had a great number of full-time consumers and the need for upgrade and expansion was great and unavoidable. Nowadays we have our employees, which I am very proud of. In the startup, I mostly do marketing, I'm in charge of the internal marketing team, and product development. Business analysis and new ideas for upgrading and fixing a day to day problems are something I enjoy doing the most and which I am most devoted to. Also, sometimes I hold workshops concerning data-driven decision making in a startup, I participate in panel discussions concerning women empowerment in IT, business, as well as data literacy amongst young women, how through data and collecting and processing the information they can improve any job they are doing.
