Empowering innovation: E.ON at the Women in Business & Tech Expo 2024

At E.ON, we believe greater innovation is powered by diversity, and a future where more women take the lead in tech is one that excites us. That’s why we’re thrilled to be a part of Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo this week at the ExCel in London. With women still making up only 26% of the tech workforce, there’s a clear gap—but it’s one we’re committed to closing.

At E.ON, innovation is the key to a sustainable future. As we work to reshape the energy sector, we understand the importance of diverse voices and perspectives, especially in the fields of technology and STEM.

The Business & Tech Expo provides a platform to address the gender gap in tech. For E.ON, it’s more than just an opportunity to engage with the next generation of female leaders — it’s our chance to showcase how diverse perspectives fuel the innovation driving our industry forward.

Our company thrives on innovation, and we’re proud to be a data-driven organisation. We have a large in-house technology team, with leaders like Claire Whitmore helping to drive the progressive changes shaping our business. From integrating AI to working with technology partners and bringing in digital apprentices to nurture the next generation of talent, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Claire, Head of Digital Technology at E.ON, said: "We’re at an exciting point where technology is rapidly transforming every aspect of our industry. But innovation isn’t just about new tools—it’s about diverse thinking and bold ideas. That’s why fostering an inclusive environment where more women can thrive in tech is so important to us at E.ON.

We’re committed to bridging the gender gap and empowering the next generation of female tech leaders. The Women in Business & Tech Expo gives us the perfect opportunity to connect with those who share our vision of a more innovative and diverse future.”
