The Business Post Women in STEM Summit 2025, sponsored by Fidelity Investments Ireland, takes place on the 13th of March at Croke Park, Dublin.

Women lead the way in many areas of STEM but still represent only 25% of science, technology, engineering and mathematics jobs in the State. There is an even greater under-representation of female senior executives at management levels. Prioritising a sustainable approach to STEM is an ongoing effort for successive Irish governments in order to address demand outstripping supply of tech workers.

Despite broad policy efforts to increase female representation, and the acceptance that gender equality is instrumental in driving innovation and enhancing problem-solving skills across an organisation, the gender divide is stark. Supercharging our strategy on gender equality needs to be a business imperative if we are to drive innovation and investment in Ireland’s tech sector. Organisations must create business frameworks that nurture female talent. Otherwise, they will miss out on culture, growth and the ability to thrive.

 Business Post Women in STEM Summit 2025 will bring together thought leaders, educators, policy makers, innovators and pioneers in industry to discuss how to address the gender imbalance in STEM in order to meet the needs of industry.

The Summit provides a platform where we can constructively challenge current ways of thinking and offer new perspectives. It will also showcase some of Ireland’s leading companies who are creating diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces that allow every employee to thrive, regardless of their background.

The Business Post Women in STEM Summit  2025 is a key event for all those championing diversity, equity and inclusion throughout their teams, organisations and industries. Secure your spot now by visiting www.womeninstem.ie and follow on LinkedIn for the latest news and updates.
