Last Thursday, Orange welcomed 20 Fellows who are halfway through our Boost programme, for an inspiring and hands-on CV crafting session. ✍️ As Delphine Pouponneau put it, “Gender equality is not just a matter of social justice; it is a driver of progress, innovation, and cohesion.” This belief is at the 🧡 of our partnership with Orange. Thank you, Orange, for opening your doors to us and for building a more inclusive future—together! Yannick Provost Keltoma B. Alexandra Legars Florence Graugnard Isabelle Farin Gaëlle Lévrien

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let’s continue building a brighter, more inclusive world—together. #IWD2025 #WomenInTech #RefugeeWomen #InclusionMatters #BreakingBarriers #EmpowerWomen

Bringing people together is at the 💜 of what we do. Yesterday in Athens, we kicked off the year (better late than never!) with a traditional "vassilopita" cake-cutting—complete with the lucky coin hunt! 🎉 And of course, it wouldn’t be a Sistech event without alumnae and Pathway Fellows huddled around a laptop, sharing knowledge and passion🔥 Thank you all for coming!

What do we 💞 more than receiving laptop donations? Partners like Netcompany-Intrasoft, who support our mission year after year. This time, they provided 7️⃣ laptops through their “Giving IT Equipment a New Lease of Life” initiative. This project not only gives hardware a second chance, but also allows refugee women to embark on bold educational journeys. Thank you, Netcompany-Intrasoft, for your generous and meaningful contribution!
