– Summit is our big dream to do something important, international. Each missionary organization wishes to expand its area of action. We have been supporting girls in technology for many years. It started with the Girls at Tech University campaign in 2008 and is still ongoing. Here we bring together all the subjects, all the fields and all the issues related to women in science. (…) We show that Poland is the most important European center for women in technology, because such an event does not take place anywhere else. (…) There are more women in technology than before, (…) because we all understood that diversity is important and translates into finances and quality – says Dr. Bianka Siwińska , the initiator of the Summit.
