With the support of Azerconnect Group, organized by ‘Women in Tech Azerbaijan’, the first event in a seminar series titled ‘Diversity, Inclusion, and Sustainability: Learning from Global in the View of COP29’ was successfully held.

Twenty-three companies participated in the first seminar, titled ‘Empowering Individuals for Real Change’.

They shared global insights on diversity, inclusion, and sustainability, detailing successful projects and offering ready-made solutions to support participants in implementing these practices.

It was noted that Azerconnect Group is the only local company that has been selected as ‘Top Employer’ by the prestigious "Top Employers Institute" for two consecutive years for applying the best international human resources practices.
