The Global Home of Coil Winding

Women in Engineering

We want to provide a platform for dialogue, raise awareness, and support industry-wide efforts to create more inclusive and equitable workplaces for employees, which is why we've launched our Women in Engineering programme. As an industry, we know that there is more that we can all do to achieve these goals, and as an event, we see it as our purpose to encourage and inspire everyone who forms part of our important global value chain.

Why have we launched Women in Engineering?

The challenges

The challenges faced by women in engineering are multifaceted, ranging from gender bias and underrepresentation to work-life balance conflicts with societal norms.

A silver lining

Despite these hurdles, the proportion of women engineers in the UK has risen from 10.5% in 2010 to 15.7% in 2023, and similar trends are observed in the US, particularly in environmental engineering.  

There's more to do

Our networking opportunities celebrate the brilliance of diversity, encouraging connections that transcend barriers, all while addressing the critical question: How can we build a more balanced and fair environment for all engineers, regardless of gender? 

Women in Engineering Overview

With this initiative launched in 2024, CWIEME Berlin will continue to provide this platform at our event in 2026. With productive networking sessions and valuable insights from industry leaders, the Women in Engineering programme has already had a terrific impact on CWIEME as a whole.

Networking

The event also includes networking segments. "Welcome Coffee" planned to connect, inspire and empower the women in engineering, and "Celebrating the Brilliance", designed to foster connections and honour the diversity among attendees.

Panel Discussions

The Women in Engineering panels will explore building inclusive workplaces and the role of allyship in driving change. Leaders will share personal stories and insights, offering practical strategies to support colleagues and encourage diversity across the industry.

WiPE Interviews

Transformers Magazine and CWIEME are working together on a new format of the Women in Power Engineering programme.

In this series of live sessions, we'll be interviewing prominent women at the academy, designed to support women in our industry through scholarships for education at the Transformers Academy. 

This initiative is a core value of our project and we're enthusiastic about making a positive impact together.
