My guest week is Francoise Chombar, Chairwoman at MELEXIS and STEM Platform, and board member at AMS and Umicore. In this episode, she talks about:

How technology can be a force for positive impact, but only if it is inclusive – and how inclusion is a driver for innovation
Why diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) needs to become a societal and organisational habit to be effective
What being a Steminist – a STEM feminist – means and why it is a crucial solution to economic and societal inequality
Why diversity is not only about diversity of gender or ethnicity or other profiles, but also about diversity of perspectives
How having the diverse role models, especially during education, is a key to increasing diverse participation in STEM careers
