When International Women’s Day met Climate Action Week Sydney last week, the women of SunDrive Solar made the most of it with a visit to the thoughtful exhibition “Taking Up Space” at Cicada Innovations, an initiative of SunDrive alumni Rebecca Schacht and Hertha’s Workshop, a women-led deep tech community.
The pop-up portrait gallery was a literal 'filling of the room’ and celebrated the women shaping Australia’s deep tech ecosystem, from robotics to climate innovation, from engineers to commercial teams.
TakingUpSpace shared the stories of women working at the frontier of science and technology and highlighting the importance of visibility in industries where women are still underrepresented, its mission resonated deeply: "A community where women in deep tech and robotics don’t just show up, they belong.”
It was a great opportunity for the SunDrive team to celebrate the diversity within our ecosystem and connect with the formidable talent driving and shaping solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. Congratulations and thanks to Bec and Cicada on an inspiring exhibition 💜 💚 🤍
