Belonging: How to Support Immigrant Women in Finland’s Tech Scene.

How do we build a tech industry in Finland where immigrant women feel like they truly belong—not just included, but valued?

In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, immigrant women working in Finland’s tech field share their lived experiences navigating bias, burnout, and belonging.

The panel explores the often invisible “meta-work” many women take on—constantly proving their credibility, maintaining networks, adapting to culture, and managing emotional labor.

These are challenges many of us recognize, but for immigrant women, the load can be heavier and the stakes higher.

We’ll discuss what it means to build a career without a support system, how it feels to be seen as a spouse instead of a professional, and where language becomes a hidden barrier even in “English-speaking” companies.

The conversation will also touch on the difference in career progression between immigrant and Finnish-born women—and what we can learn from those contrasts.

This panel is not just about stories—it’s about solutions. Whether you’re in a leadership role or not, you’ll walk away with concrete takeaways on how to make tech workplaces more inclusive, more human, and better for everyone.
