Nuclear energy plays an important role for a sustainable energy future. Innovation and advanced technologies improve the economy, reliability, efficiency and flexibility of nuclear power plants, being key elements in achieving sustainable development goals in a world with energy growing demand.

Clean energy transition will require innovative solutions, business models to be adopted, and greater participation from a diverse talent pool. Diversity is beneficial for innovation – diverse teams bring varied experiences and worldviews to better understand and address wider needs and innovative solutions. However, the energy sector remains one of the least gender diverse sectors and closing this gender gap will be vital for its future.

The main objective of WiN Innovation Group of Exptertise is to create a group of multidisciplinary experts within WiN Global. WINI promotes and strengthens the involvement of women in innovation and enhances the attractiveness of nuclear energy as an innovative and cutting-edge technology sector, especially for the next generation. WINI boosts the role of nuclear innovation and technology for the future of the energy sector, promotes public understanding, and raises the sector’s profile.

Mission

The initiative’s mission is to promote innovation in the nuclear sector as a key driver for a sustainable energy future and elevate women’s important role in the development of innovative and inclusive solutions.

Role of WiN Security Partners

The WiN in Innovation was launched in September 2021 under the framework of the partnership between WiN Global and World Nuclear Association (WNA). The initiative was proudly inaugurated with DG Sama Bilbao y León as its godmother.
