ASEAN–Russia Dialogue Forum of Women in High-Tech Industries: Unity in Diversity: Women for Technology, Energy and Inclusive Prosperity
Jakarta · 17 November 2026
A shared regional agenda
From STEM talent to leadership in strategic industries
The economies of Russia and ASEAN countries are being reshaped by the energy transition, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and the climate agenda. STEM education is available to young women, but few choose it. Our task is to make technical professions a deliberate choice, and to build the path that follows: from study to work, from technical work to leadership, and from individual success to regional cooperation.
The Forum brings together women’s organisations, industry leaders, science and technology representatives, and emerging professionals to identify shared problems and agree on practical actions to launch as early as 2027.
Regional Context
Building on the Kazan Declaration “ASEAN - Russian Federation: Unity in Diversity - 35 Years Together” and the Comprehensive Plan of Action 2026–2030, and contributing to the outcomes of the 4th ASEAN Women Leaders’ Summit.
