Women In STEM Conference - WiSTEM

WiSTEM Conference Awards is an annual initiative of the MKF hosted to establish, recognize, honor, and promote the outstanding contribution women make to the scientific and technological communities that improve and evolve our society.

This has grown to become the largest global event for women in Science, Tech and Math, gathering an international audience of women technologists, scientists, mathematicians and achievers who are not only adding diversity to the world around us but are also essential participants in the health of the global economy.

The two days of the Conference will comprise Industry-led tracks, providing several opportunities for industry experts and leaders to discuss pertinent issues within each space. The extensive range of topics is sure to cater to the needs of the diverse, international audience. Another highlight of the tracks will be Fireside Chats, short capsule interviews with women, offering insights across domains like online business models, the future of cloud, VC funding and more.

START-UP PITCH

Women in STEM Conference and Awards 2017 will host The Pitch exclusively for the women led tech start-ups where majority stockholding is with women. The Pitch intends to provide innovative and scalable women-led early stage tech start-ups an unparalleled opportunity to present their ideas in front of potential investors. They would also get tips from the experts to transform their start-ups to investment-worthy business propositions and successful sustainable businesses.

The applications would go through a rigorous process of screening and only shortlisted start-ups would be invited to present their start-ups in front of a judging panel, comprising of highly accomplished investors, VCs, and representatives from Corporate and Government. The Pitch envisages building an environment that promotes and facilitates women entrepreneurs to reach their true potential and create an ecosystem of innovation.
