"This is Fiji's time to shine, and we are proud to showcase Fijian women in technology at the international level," Ms. Sagufta said. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, MSMEs and Communications, Manoa Kamikamica, promised that the launch is a turning point for Fiji.

He added that it puts the country even further up the pedestal of a leader in inclusive innovation, to global standards, and opportunities become available for new partnerships and funding. The government, he continued, wishes to make sure that gender mainstreaming is included in all regional and international frameworks.

The following Women in Tech Global Summit 2025, April 23 to 25, will have 500 delegates from 60 delegations and feature 80 speakers. The summit will feature key government, industry, and civil society stakeholders to share on the current status of women in technology.

This year's event will celebrate women's accomplishments in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), and explore the transformational potential of new technologies such as AI, blockchain, cybersecurity, and sustainable tech—with a focus on creating inclusive solutions for a more sustainable world.
