Women in AI: A Roundtable for Action
At a time when AI is redefining what's possible, success belongs to those who harness its potential. Yet in Estonia—with a global reputation as a leader in digital innovation—women still represent only 20–27% of tech roles, with even fewer specializing in AI.

This isn't just another tech event—it’s an intimate, action-oriented gathering dedicated to driving tangible change in Estonia’s AI ecosystem.
