On February 11, 2025, the world will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, an occasion to highlight the invaluable contributions of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This day is especially important for industries like logistics, where innovation in areas such as data analytics, robotics, and supply chain management is reshaping the way goods are moved across the globe.
Women have long been at the forefront of these advancements, driving progress in technology and logistics. From pioneering data analysts who optimise supply chain operations to engineers designing autonomous vehicles that enhance delivery efficiency, women’s impact is undeniable. Their expertise in artificial intelligence, robotics, and sustainable practices has led to more streamlined, efficient, and eco-friendly logistics solutions.
Yet, despite these accomplishments, women remain underrepresented in STEM fields. This day serves as a reminder of the need to encourage more girls and women to pursue careers in science and technology, ensuring that the next generation of logistics professionals reflects the diversity of talent and perspective needed to address the sector’s future challenges.
On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate their achievements and look forward to a future where women continue to shape the world of logistics through innovation and leadership.
