Running from 09.00 to 14.15 at the Sa Nostra Foundation venue, the forum aims to put women in the islands’ tourism-technology sector in the spotlight and create professional and business opportunities.

Mentoring and women-led projects

Experienced professionals will join mentoring sessions with emerging talent. The programme also includes meetings with figures from tourism and technology, plus a showroom of ideas and projects led by women.

Womenalia, a professional network for Spanish-speaking women, is delivering the event. It will bring its experience of connecting and supporting entrepreneurs, professionals and senior women managers.

Focus on AI and data

Artificial intelligence, data and sustainability will be central to the forum. Organisers say these areas are reshaping tourism in the Balearic Islands and increasing the need for qualified people to lead the change.

The event is part of the regional government’s push to link talent, businesses, technology and strategic sectors as tourism changes.
