“Women in Tech” is a renowned global organization that promotes inclusion, diversity, and equity in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. The finalists, scientists and innovators from Latin America, were nominated for the “Most Disruptive” category, which recognizes women who have had the most significant impact by challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries within the tech industry.
Marcela Ruiz, our Executive Director, was recognized on this occasion because she has a distinguished career contributing to the field of maritime science and technology, inspiring women and girls in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
Marcela mentions that this is a tremendous recognition for the entire Acústica Marina team, who have been contributing to ocean sustainability. The commitment is to continue working very hard and to keep raising visibility and empowering girls and adolescents to address the gender gap, which is especially needed in STEM disciplines.
As one of the regional (LATAM) winners, she became one of the finalists for the Global Awards, which will take place in Dubai on November 16, 2023.
“It has been a long but very rewarding journey working together with CMP. We greatly appreciate that they have trusted this initiative, which is also technology developed by a 100% Chilean transdisciplinary team. Our work focuses on providing technological solutions for sustainable mitigation measures for both the ocean and the rich wildlife of our coasts. This is from the perspective of triple impact, where economic, social, and environmental value is created in the decade of ocean sciences for sustainable development.”
