The forum brought together leading female engineers, executives, and innovators to discuss the evolving role of women in electronics and engineering.

The discussions focused on mentorship, career development, and the impact of diverse perspectives on innovation. With a growing number of talented women making their mark in embedded design, it was encouraging to see the industry taking active steps to support and promote gender diversity. As we look ahead, it’s clear that the embedded industry is in the midst of a
