Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week 2021, which celebrated the #SHEStem Season 2 with Insta-Reels Challenge, revealed the winners’ names this week. The event was held in collaboration with the Indian government’s flagship program, Atal Innovation Mission, Office of Science & innovation & team Sweden, with support from the Sweden Consulate in Mumbai. #SheStem was started with the vision to create a platform that amplifies the voice of women & their achievements in the field of science & technology, entrepreneurship & innovation from both India and Sweden.
The event, which was held successfully for the second year in a row, centered around discussions over creating innovative offerings, coupled with creative, diversity and sustainable solutions for the ongoing global problems. The event began with a welcome address by H E Klas Molin, Ambassador of Sweden to India.
Ambassador Klas Molin said, "While there is no dearth of Stem graduates in the country, there definitely is a lot of room for young women to step into the Stem field and contribute significantly towards establishing a more diverse, equitable and progressive society.
We showcase, together with India, our long-term commitment towards launching policies and development initiatives that bring growth to both genders equally. It is what we have been practising and professing for years on a global scale as part of our feminist foreign policy."
