With a strong global network and the power of many inspiring people, we can achieve these goals together and make the world the place we want to live in. Because equality and creativity do not depend on one specific country but are global issues.“

„The digital world will be a workplace where everybody is equal. This is our conviction at Telefónica Deutschland where we make female role models more visible. Pioneers, that help us to succeed in the global digital transformation. Experts, that know how to master new technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Industrie 4.0. Visionaries, that help us to shape the digital transformation to benefit our customers and society. Global Digital Women is a perfect place to find and develop these role models for the digital world.”

„To be successful and innovative in the digital age we need a mindset change and agile ways of working. Sharing ideas is never a one-way. Often we need a small glimmer to inflame great ideas and innovations.GDW is the right initiative to catch fire – it brings together the valuable and inspiring inside out perspective by women of different branches, career levels and generations and enables them to make a real impact.“

„Digitalisation to me means the opportunity to create a world of equals. A world where information and opportunities are not only for some. Where hard work and diligence can bring anyone an inch away from their dreams – they still need to seize them though. However, it is not a given. For digitalisation to have this power we need to bring equal access to all kids and adults. In most cultures, women are equality drivers. And we need to remember that technology is there to help us be better humans, not to compete with us.“

„Digitalisation has fundamentally changed the playing field for businesses and society – a trend that will only intensify in the future. To navigate these times of constant change we need diversity as the fuel that powers innovation by offering new ideas, perspectives and opinions. Therefore I support Global Digital Women as a platform to increase visibility and connect female thought leaders who want to shape the future together.“

Digitization offers a great opportunity that we should take advantage of. The transformation of companies into the digital world requires creativity, innovation and change management skills – a good field for women. GDW brings all the great women from the tech industry together and underlines their business relevance.“

“With digitalisation, traditional role and leadership models are dissolving, and diversity is being recognized as a driving success factor. At Global Digital Women, we give women a stage who want to shape tomorrow.“
