MILAN. “We know that we have an underrepresentation of women in science, but the country needs everyone for the challenges that await us, and therefore we need women scientists, women engineers, women researchers, women biologists.” This was stated by the minister for technological innovation and digital transition, Vittorio Colao, speaking at the “Stem in the city” event in Milan, underlining that “talent is distributed evenly between men and women”. “We need women who also put themselves in a position to reach leadership roles, to obtain the parity that we also want in running the country,” he added.

In the fifth edition of STEM, the minister stressed that this event “covers three of the themes that are most close to my heart: innovation, equality and the environment”, says Minister Vittorio Colao in an opening greeting and adds the hope «that little by little from“ STEM in the city ”we will talk about“ STEM in the country ”».

Innovation: very important, it promotes growth

“Innovation is important and necessary to change things for the better, it promotes economic growth, gives job opportunities to people, but above all it creates a culture of change that makes companies more agile, more resilient, better – explained the minister. -. Obviously, to get to innovation, you need deep skills in the sciences, so promoting awareness of the importance of scientific studies and insights is essential for the future, “he said.

Deep skills to manage ecological crisis
And then the environment: «We have an ecological crisis ahead of us, we have to manage it, we have to face it with profound skills. We have to redesign the world we want to go to and of course we also want to create jobs in related sectors. In this sense, again, “STEM in the city” covers well this great opportunity that we have before us ».
