Summary


Taiwan is a pioneer of the offshore wind industry within Asia and stands out in terms of gender equality progress. Anecdotally, it has been observed that female representation is higher in Taiwan's offshore wind sector than in other countries, especially at senior levels. The Women in Business Network and the UK Renewable Committee, collaborating under the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCT) has led a study to investigate the true representation of women in the Taiwan offshore wind industry, and to gain insights into why Taiwan is a leader in gender equality.


As part of the study, a survey was conducted amongst 38 companies active in the Taiwan offshore wind industry. In addition, several in-depth interviews were held with women in senior leadership positions. The results of the study will be published in a bilingual report, which will be presented at this event. The event will also include a number of government and industry speakers, as well as a panel discussion. 

About The BCCT Women in Business Network


The Women in Business Committee run events to promote diversity in business and to highlight opportunities and strategies for women to be successful in business. Events are run to allow women and diversity champions to get together to discuss business issues, career advancement and expanding networks. Since 2010, the BCCT Women in Business Network has offered a great opportunity to make new friends, share experiences as well as develop important business contacts and advance professional careers.


Aim of the Women in Business Network:

  1. To strengthen the voice of women in business
  2. To inspire women in Taiwan to feel empowered in their workplace
  3. To give participants information and perspectives on work-life balance
  4. To give participants a chance to discuss the above issues, and offer them opportunities for future collaboration
