Proud moment for A*STAR ARTC! Our very own, Maria Vergo, Senior Assistant Director, Head of Technology Portfolio Mangement, took the stage as a panelist at Microsoft booth’s Celebrating Women in Manufacturing segment during ITAP 2025 day 2, where she shared her experiences and perspectives on empowering women in the industry and shaping the future of manufacturing. During the session, the moderator touched on important topics — from the challenges that women continue to face in a traditionally male-dominated manufacturing industry, to the personal journeys that have shaped each panelist’s path. Maria shared her advice to “stay passionate, stay faithful” in pursuing one’s dreams despite obstacles — an inspiring reminder of the resilience and determination that drive women to excel in the manufacturing world. May these stories continue to inspire more women to pursue their passions and drive the future of manufacturing! #ARTC #WomenInManufacturing #ASTAR #Empowerment #Manufacturing
Looking good team! It was great to see bradley at the innovation labs yesterday :-) keep crushing it!
Maria is a star, with multifaceted interest & exuberance that touches people around her! I am sure it must have been an engaging discussion.
Thank you Microsoft and Siemens for the opportunity to share my thoughts on this and to hopefully inspire the next generations of women in STEM Wayne Chua Zonghe Cai
