Happy International Women's Day

Science and engineering are not about gender, but about passion and skill.

For International Women’s Day, we asked three of our female apprentices and students how they experience starting a career in fields that are still often seen as male-dominated.

Jiye, about her path in mechanical engineering: “As a working student, I get to gain hands-on experience in many areas of engineering. This path feels absolutely right for me and I hope it becomes a natural choice for many more women.”

Melina, our apprentice chemical laboratory technician: “Every day I work with formulas, concentration calculations and data analysis. Mathematics is simply part of what I do. Science and math are not about gender, but about passion and skill.”

Stephanie, master’s student in medical engineering: “In my master’s thesis, I’m developing a material model for FE simulation to help make medical technology safer and more precise. At MeKo, I see every day how valuable diversity is for innovation. My wish for International Women’s Day: Be brave and choose engineering – we need your perspectives.”

Their stories show what really matters in technology: curiosity, dedication and the confidence to follow your interests. At MeKo, we believe innovation grows when different perspectives come together.
