After the first three editions in Florence, Rome and Milan, the 2016 edition of the initiative promoted by Microsoft has been transformed into Pink Cloud on Tour – Science and Technology for Ambitious Women. From May 9 to 13, the event was held in three cities - Bari, Naples and Cagliari - introducing over 1000 young Italian and foreign women (aged 17-24) to the many opportunities existing in the technological and digital sectors to overcome the gender gap in technological education.
Today, we review the Naples leg of the tour with three interviews produced by Rosy D'Elia.
