NEFI Power Women for the Decarbonisation of Industry
- News
Despite numerous efforts to promote and address the issue, the proportion of women in technical professions remains low. On the International Women’s Day, the NEFI Innovation Network will bring successful female technicians to the stage. They are NEFI project managers or are pushing the decarbonisation of industry with their know-how and expertise.
In the week of the International Women’s Day we will present six role models from the NEFI Innovation Network to showcase the natural approach of these women to a technical career. Role models are important to create a desire and interest in a career in technology for the following generations.
So, let’s open the curtain for the NEFI Power Women:

We have asked Christiane Egger:
„The energy transition is an important issue for me due to its significant impact on climate, health, energy security, and the economy. Given the urgent need to address climate change, it is critical to transition from fossil fuels to renewable and more sustainable energy sources. This changeover is vital to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a healthy and prosperous outlook for present and future generations.”
