Second WEUCO Summit

The second WEUCO summit has been full of content and definitely, gave the kick-off to a public debate involving EU institutions and civil society to change the structure of society and reinvent the economic model, with the aim of achieving an inclusive and sustainable growth.

No public policies, no investments, no algorithms nor new apps are neutral. They respond to the objectives decision makers and firms want to achieve. Often those objectives are driven mainly by profit and take into account only the condition of white male, excluding women and minorities. Instead, it is an absolute fact that societal and business models driven by value of diversity and inclusiveness are the most successful!

This is the reason why it is key to monitor that the goals society, institutions and companies establish are inclusive and no discriminatory. It is thus key for women being aware about the role we want to play in our society and economy and how we should contribute to shape a better world.

Access to labour market, decent and fair work conditions, welfare state, investments in innovation, education and lifelong learning, respect of ethics principles in the digital economy are crucial issues to pursue equal opportunities and strengthen women’s leadership.
