At Capgemini Invent, we’ve formed an alliance with Women in Data to join the movement and to be a force for positive change in the data science and analytics industry. We champion this platform for female and gender diverse data professions and encourage the sharing of technical knowledge and experiences as well as the illumination of women in the industry.
We are proud to have worked in partnership to tackle the issue of gender inequality in healthcare. We gathered some exceptional minds from the data and health sectors to focus on the gender health gap.
Our recently published paper shows that fundamental changes in data collection and analysis could help to tackle growing gender inequality in the healthcare system.
If you would like to get involved as we move forward with this campaign, please get in touch with us.

Data and Analytics market is continuing to grow exponentially and expected to reach over $448 billion by 2027. The data imperative is fuelling investments on data ecosystems, Cloud and AI solutions. But to unlock the real power of data organisation there needs to be more than solely building technology and AI products.
A robust data culture and literacy need to take higher priority. Increased demand for data specialists will require refining the workforce’s strategy, developing the right structures and cultures within organisations to enable employees to grow and progress in a diverse and innovative environment.
From a service perspective, personalised services will drive demand and consumers will need to build trust in the companies to whom they provide their information. Transparency about how consumer data is used, as well as their ability to interact with their own data, will help to strengthen these relationships.
Finally, as the sustainability agenda becomes more embedded into core businesses and operations, data-powered intelligence will be key to help organisations successfully drive their sustainable transformations, from commitments to action.
