Supporting Women in Drones with Eszter Kovács Acting Secretary General of GUTMA and CEO and Founder of Manageld ltd.

Supporting women in the drone industry shouldn’t be about playing a numbers game—how many women you have employed—but rather about developing a supportive, inclusive framework that will attract and keep qualified women in the field by providing paths that can lead to growth and success not only for them but for the industry as well. But what does it mean to support and be inclusive of women in this space, and what does that support actually look like?

This is the next installment in a multi-part series that helps to reimagine what a professional in the drone space can look like, and more.
