Strong Women in Digitalization – Focus Danube Region
Digital transformation is reshaping the world around us and women are key contributors to this change. Across industries, social sectors, and politics, women bring innovation, leadership, and expertise to help shape a more inclusive digital future.
To make these contributions visible, three women’s networks — Business and Professional Women (BPW) in the Danube Region, webgrrls.de, and haecksen.org — have joined forces in the project “Strong Women in Digitalization – Focus Danube Region.”
The initiative highlights the stories of women actively involved in digitization through a powerful series of video interviews. The interviews feature inspiring women from Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia, who share how they contribute to digital progress in their respective fields whether in companies, civic life, public service, or technological activism. These voices reflect a wide range of perspectives and roles, offering insight into how women are helping to build digital ecosystems that are not only advanced, but equitable and human-centered.
The project “Strong Women in Digitalization – Focus Danube Region”was proudly supported and funded by the Baden-Württemberg Foundation. Together, we continue to foster digital inclusion, leadership, and cooperation across the Danube Region with women at the center of innovation.
