Emerging Technologies Sweden is an Exponential Organization (ExO).
This company has a story behind it and it is the one belonging to Veronica Chiaravalli who struggled for years trying to get into the job market without success. She became an entrepreneur on the way, found her passion (solving the gaps and working with emerging and exponential technologies), created her company, worked with pioneering space projects for the Exploration and Colonization of Mars, started her startup MSEI, found the success coach Jack Canfield on the way (who literally turned her life around), learned the success principles, made it her top priority to not only solve this challenge (the gender gap), but also other challenges regarding Space, and in April 2018 submitted her innovation plan to finally get rid of the gender gap for good. The approach is therefore based on real-life experience. Her courage goes far beyond the mountain.
There is also something very important to clarify: she has a raw talent for pioneering innovation and emerging and exponential technologies.
The take away is the following: you never know who has the answers, it can be a woman or a man. We live in a digital world where problems are solved with apps and platforms but we must be prepared to solve the existing and upcoming challenges without being connected to the internet as well. The importance of having a degree has come to a point where people are blinded and miss the talent, the path, the solution, and so on. This is because of automated systems that create biases but also because of other problems. These biases still exist today and are not easy to see by the technical teams. This results in people being lost in the system, who have heard the word no a billion times and who, for one reason or another, have gone unnoticed. This has created a huge gap during the years which keeps getting bigger as the technologies get faster and more complex, something which unfortunately is directly affecting women and especially in the IT sector.
We wanted to tell the story in order to explain the value Emerging Technologies Sweden offers, its experience, and approach.
Special Announcement: The Gender and Knowledge Gap which is a global challenge was solved by Veronica Chiaravalli in 2018. It’s officially registered as innovation! Every step we have taken has been toward our vision.
