“Our colleagues in the energy sector must enjoy all our respect, appreciation and help, for the professionalism of their actions, for the dedication and patience they show in many situations. This event is an opportunity for our young colleagues to participate in the exchange of ideas between generations. I wish them much success in the future!”, said Mr. Ștefan Gheorghe.

Ella Ratcu mentioned:
“I am convinced that women have all the capabilities to be those redoubtable professionals, exceptional leaders, inspirational mentors and key factors of the innovative solutions that the energy sector needs so much. They have the power to lead, to guide people and businesses, to transmit knowledge, to inspire. My message to the young energy workers: You have chosen a job of boundless nobility! The energy industry offers great challenges, but also opportunities to match. I believe in you, in your strength and determination to push your limits and succeed in whatever you set your mind to. Dare! Be strong!”

Given the ambitious climate and energy targets to which the European Union has committed itself, there is a time pressure to identify and attract the talent from the relevant sector, regardless of gender, that is needed to meet the goal of climate neutrality. Diversity can lead to an increase in the sector’s competitiveness and improvements throughout its value chain.
“By organizing this event, we aim to support the professional community of women in the energy sector, to encourage young students and professionals to develop a successful career in this field.

FEL Romania develops programs that offer networking opportunities, encourages the career development of women who want to work in the energy industry and those with consolidated positions in the field” also mentions Ionuț Diaconu, Project Manager of FEL Romania.
