As part of Talent Arena, this session brings together three women awarded the DonaTIC Awards, recognized for driving digital talent and paving the way in the STEM ecosystem: Marta Portalés (MWCapital), Alba Cervera Lierta (BSC), and Estel Blay (Associació Hypatia Mars), moderated by Marjorie Grassler (MWCapital).
It’s an inspirational conversation that highlights real role models who make an impact and create opportunities for others to succeed. The panel explores how to build a STEM career while navigating data, decisions, and reasonable doubts. The speakers will share the driving forces behind their progress: influences, alliances, and key moments, and how this legacy has translated into innovation, leadership, and new ways of working. The session closes with two simple yet powerful questions: what can you do with this tomorrow? And, above all, who do you want to influence and help grow from now on?
