The Women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) 2015 Conference and Awards ceremony has been launched in Dubai, UAE.

Meera Kaul, chairperson of The Meera Kaul Foundation said: “Women can never win if they are just a statistic. With this event we aim to inspire women to compete on the basis of their talent and competitiveness rather than just statistics in the diversity chain. We would like women in the Middle East and across the globe to come and join us.”
Dr Raja Al Gurg, managing director, Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group and member of the Board at Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated: “We have gathered at this prestigious occasion to celebrate and invigorate women in business, an international phenomenon as no matter where in the world you go, women are discussing the very same things we are addressing at this conference.”
