The g4g / Nokia global partnership
History and Goals
Nokia & g4g are working together globally to help inspire young women in science
Our partnership was initiated with a launch in three different cities in Finland in March 2017. Now, we have organised events together in several countries, spread across Europe, Australia, the US, Africa and Asia and are planning to continue our collaboration.
The overall goal of this partnership is to increase the amount of female leaders, by inspiring more girls to choose a career in Science, Engineer, Technology and Mathematics. Nokia shows it's innovations and technology in some extraordinary workshops, including one about Virtual Reality. Participants coming from local schools as well as schools connected to Nokia employees get to experience a unique experience with amazing volunteers and rolemodels.
Our global partnership in numbers
Our past events with Nokia
In November, our g4g Days @Antwerp with Nokia, gathered more than 200 girls. From coding to statistics with chocolate, from discovering the cutting-edge technology Nokia is known for, to playing with green screens, these girls experienced fun interactive workshops while meeting STEM professionals and enjoying mentoring sessions with them.
