At TCI Network, our vision is to expand the power of collaboration toward more inclusive and sustainable societies. Since our foundation, we have remained acutely aware of the need to work for real equality of opportunities within clusters and organizations. Over the years, we have undertaken various actions with this goal in mind. However, we fully recognize the long road still ahead...

Today, on March 8, taking advantage of the celebration of International Women’s Day, we call upon our network to continue actively contributing to closing gender gaps in clusters and organizations, advancing toward a more fair and inclusive society.

We encourage you to join us in collectively building concrete actions within our TCI community. Our goal is to have a real impact on our cluster ecosystem and, consequently, on society as a whole.

• How do you think clusters can tackle this challenge?
• What specific actions would you like TCI to pursue?

Join the conversation here and help us in co-creating a path toward genuine gender equality!
