Women in Nuclear

Nuclear Zone “Nuclear. Powered by Women” organized by Women in Nuclear (WiN) Polska focuses on the role of nuclear energy in shaping Poland’s technological future. The zone will include a mini‑Stage featuring debates, keynotes, power talks, and workshops. A program aimed at competence development, increasing the visibility of women leaders, and building a talent pipeline for the nuclear sector. A key highlight of the space will be the Nuclear Experience Zone, an interactive area designed to bring nuclear technology closer to participants through hands‑on learning.

WiN Poland’s presence at the Women in Tech Summit highlights the importance of nuclear energy as one of the key elements of the future energy and technology landscape, in line with this year’s event theme, “UNLEASH NEW ENERGY.” Thanks to this collaboration, the Nuclear Zone will become a space where experts, students, and future engineers can gain knowledge, build relationships, find inspiration, and explore new career opportunities in the nuclear industry.

Nuclear Zone is powered by WiN Polska with, Bechtel Corporation, Westinghouse Electric Company, Atkins Realis, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Steady Energy, Powen Wafapomp, OSGE, EDF, Urząd Dozoru Technicznego, Rockfin, Unibep i Amentum.
