Electronic Specifier partners with embedded world's women4ew

embedded world, taking place between 11-13^th March 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, is a key gathering place for experts and suppliers from across the embedded systems industry. Over three days, the event hosts specialist forums and expert panels, covering hardware, systems, distribution, electronic displays, embedded vision, and more.

Now in its third year, women4ew provides a dedicated space for women in embedded systems to connect, learn, and support one another.

Electronic Specifier has long championed women and diversity in STEM, having launched its inaugural Women in Tech event in 2023.  The intimate gathering encouraged open discussions, frank dialogue, and cultivated lasting bonds and professional connections between attendees. Inspired and encouraged by its success, Electronic Specifier went on to establish a Women in Tech LinkedIn group to further provide a supportive space for women to share experiences and insights in a safe space. Building on this momentum, Electronic Specifier partnered with Women in Electronics at electronica 2024 to host a dedicated Women in Tech forum.

As well as a line-up of great content, Electronic Specifier and Women in Electronics also co-launched a ‘Global Industry Workforce Survey’. This initiative aimed to identify the challenges women face in the electronics sector and related markets, and to track their career progression.  

At embedded world 2025, Electronic Specifier is proud to once more support women in tech by partnering with women4ew. The event will be host to insightful keynotes, and the opportunity to take part in a Q&A with industry experts, followed by a networking session where the conversations and connections can carry on. 

Paige West, Managing Editor at Electronic Specifier will be moderating the event and comments: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with women4ew at embedded world for this fantastic speaking and networking event. At Electronic Specifier, we believe in supporting initiatives that foster diversity and inclusion in the electronics industry. Events like this provide an essential platform for women to connect, share insights, and inspire the next generation of engineers and leaders. We look forward to being part of these important conversations and celebrating the incredible talent in our industry.”
