Leadway Group has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering inclusion, innovation, and talent development among women in technology through its participation in the Engineer Her Future 1.0 Conference, organised by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Lagos State Chapter.
Held on June 5, 2026, in Lagos, the conference brought together accomplished female technology professionals, industry leaders, innovators, aspiring young professionals, and secondary school students for engaging discussions aimed at inspiring more women and girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
As part of the event, Ayomide Shodipo, Engineering Lead at Leadway Group, joined a panel of industry experts to share practical insights on navigating the technology industry, building successful careers, and embracing innovation in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The panel encouraged participants to explore opportunities within STEM fields and pursue their ambitions with confidence and determination.
Speaking during the conference, Shodipo emphasised the importance of exposing young women to technology opportunities early in their educational and professional journeys.
“At Leadway, we believe meaningful progress begins with creating opportunities for the next generation to see what is possible. Supporting Engineer Her Future aligns with our commitment to empowering young people, particularly young women, with the inspiration, exposure, and access they need to pursue careers in technology and innovation. By investing in platforms like this, we are not only supporting individual aspirations but also contributing to the development of a more inclusive, diverse, and future-ready workforce for Nigeria,” she said.
