In this episode, we connect the dots with mathematics.
We still face a significant gender gap in technology, science and business. Moreover, it’s challenging to solve this problem, until we are able to connect the dots between policymakers, technologists and ecosystems, including how we define and protect diversity, create policies, keep ethics both on a local and multilateral level.
