In a world where AI is expanding beyond the digital realm into physical environments, sensors have become its eyes, ears, and situational awareness. As we build more intelligent systems—from smart factories to autonomous machines—the sensor and electronics landscape is entering a new era of urgency and opportunity.

To fully seize this moment, we need a surge of innovation—and much of it will come from startups. Creating a vibrant startup ecosystem in sensors and electronics requires all hands on deck. Yet, despite their proven potential, women-led startups remain critically underfunded and underrepresented in this space.

This insightful panel brings together trailblazing entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders to explore two interconnected dimensions: the complex journey of building successful startups in sensors and electronics, and the persistent gaps in support and capital facing women founders.

Whether you’re a founder, investor, technologist, or corporate leader, this session offers fresh perspectives, practical advice, and inspiration to help shape a more innovative and inclusive future.
