ASIG organized the event “Women in Geospatial Technologies – Success Stories”

On 2 April 2026, at Europe House, Tirana, the State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) organized the event “Women in Geospatial Technologies – Success Stories”, as part of its initiatives to promote the role and contribution of women in the field of geospatial technologies.

The event brought together representatives from public institutions, academia, and the private sector, who shared their professional experiences, the challenges they have encountered throughout their journeys, and their perspectives on the development of this field in Albania. Through this discussion, the event highlighted not only individual and institutional achievements, but also the importance of women’s participation in sectors closely linked to technology, innovation, and the use of geospatial data.

For ASIG, this activity represented an important opportunity to showcase the contribution of women to the development of geoinformation, while also encouraging girls and women to consider this field as a valuable path for academic and professional growth. Through success stories, practical experiences, and inspiring messages shared during the event, a more encouraging and inclusive approach to women’s participation in geospatial technologies was promoted.

ASIG remains committed to supporting initiatives that foster capacity development, professional empowerment, and the creation of new opportunities for women’s inclusion in fields of strategic importance to the country’s development.
