Envisioning the Future: Empowering Science, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The World Forum for Women in Science – Egypt 2026 is a space for people who believe in the power of science to create a better future. Inspired by the vision of Women in Science Without Borders (WISWB), the Forum brings together women and men, young researchers, experienced scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, educators, policymakers, and partners from around the world to connect, share ideas, and build meaningful collaborations.

With the theme "Envisioning the Future: Empowering Science, Innovation and Entrepreneurship," the Forum looks at how we can create a more inclusive scientific future—one where everyone has the opportunity to learn, contribute, lead, and turn ideas into solutions.

Women in science remain central to this vision. The Forum celebrates their achievements, amplifies their voices, and supports their journey from education and research to leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. At the same time, it recognizes that achieving lasting gender equality in science is a shared responsibility. Progress is stronger when everyone is part of the conversation and everyone has a role to play.

The Forum will create opportunities for dialogue across generations, cultures, disciplines, and communities. It will encourage collaboration, mentorship, creativity, and the exchange of experiences, while connecting scientific knowledge with real-world challenges.

Above all, this is a Forum about people, ideas, and possibilities—and about working together to shape a future where science is more inclusive, innovation is meaningful, entrepreneurship is supported, and everyone can contribute to building a more sustainable and equitable world.

Together, we can envision the future—and create it.
