🇬🇧 Beyond the Gap: Women Shaping the Future of Tech – Discussion with Leïla Maidane

A talk organised by Hors Norme as part of The Future of Tech is Female 2026, exploring the challenges and opportunities women face in an increasingly digital world. Technology is now essential to entrepreneurship: managing finances, communicating with customers, creating content, growing a business. Yet many women still face barriers to accessing, understanding and confidently using digital tools. Through an interview with Leïla Maidane, Founder of InterSkillar and Femmes Fières and General Manager of New Wave Tech Maroc, we'll explore:

  • Her entrepreneurial journey
  • Her vision for women's place in technology
  • The initiatives helping to reduce the digital gender gap
  • The role of public policies, grassroots initiatives and community-driven programmes in making tech more accessible to women

With time for audience questions: an honest and practical conversation to leave with fresh perspectives, useful ideas and meaningful connections. 📍 BeCentral – Cantersteen 12, 1000 Brussels 🕕 Friday 27 November, 18:00 – 20:30 During The Future of Tech is Female, BeCentral opens its doors to everyone: come early or stay afterwards to work in the open workspaces. ⚠️ Registration is done on Luma only and is subject to host approval: https://luma.com/thefuture-y1sp


🇫🇷 Beyond the Gap : les femmes qui façonnent l'avenir de la tech – Discussion avec Leïla Maidane

Une conférence organisée par Hors Norme dans le cadre de The Future of Tech is Female 2026, autour des défis et des opportunités des femmes dans un monde de plus en plus numérique. La technologie est devenue incontournable pour entreprendre : gérer ses finances, communiquer avec ses client·es, créer du contenu, développer son activité. Pourtant, beaucoup de femmes rencontrent encore des freins pour accéder aux outils numériques, les comprendre et les utiliser en confiance. À travers une interview de Leïla Maidane, fondatrice d'InterSkillar et de Femmes Fières et General Manager de New Wave Tech Maroc, nous aborderons :

  • Son parcours entrepreneurial
  • Sa vision de la place des femmes dans la tech
  • Les initiatives qui réduisent la fracture numérique de genre
  • Le rôle des politiques publiques, des initiatives de terrain et des programmes communautaires pour rendre la tech plus accessible aux femmes

Un temps de questions-réponses est prévu : une conversation sincère et concrète pour repartir avec de nouvelles perspectives, des idées utiles et de belles rencontres. 📍 BeCentral – Cantersteen 12, 1000 Bruxelles 🕕 Vendredi 27 novembre, 18h00 – 20h30 Pendant The Future of Tech is Female, BeCentral ouvre ses portes à toutes et tous : venez avant ou restez après pour profiter des espaces de travail. ⚠️ L'inscription se fait uniquement sur Luma et est soumise à validation : https://luma.com/thefuture-y1sp 📸 Photos will be taken during the event / Des photos seront prises pendant l'événement.
