7 2018 Context 7 Regionally-anchored and European-centric: The third edition of the Digital Romania International Forum, takes place in the context of the Three Seas Initiative Summit a President-level forum of 12 states focused on digital, energy, and and transportation infrastructure development. Women-powered: Across Europe, the ICT sector is lagging behind dangerously in closing the gender gap. In 2016, there were more than four men to every woman employed in ICT in Europe (16.7% women) and the gender gap is widening. The drive to Industry 4.0 and the digital transformation of society and economy cannot happen without including half of the population in the process based on antiquated stereotypes and biases. Action-oriented: Romania has the second highest representation of women in the digital sector in the EU, at 26.3% as of It is time for this subject to become a national, regional, and European priority -- and Romania, alongside the Three Seas member states, can lead the way, contributing to the development and progress of the Union.
