Toolpoint for Women event hosted by Wega Informatics in Basel

On August 29th, Wega hosted the women of the "Toolpoint for Women network" event, where we had an inspiring evening delving into the power of mentorship and discussing Wega’s innovative mentoring model. We explored how mentorship fosters both personal and professional growth, emphasizing the value of giving and receiving guidance throughout one’s career. A heartfelt thank you to the wega team for their exceptional organization and hospitality, which made the event a true success!

A special thanks to Bruker for hosting this event, where the guests were able to take a tour of Bruker's lab, followed by an engaging discussion on the evening's main topic of Mentoring.

The event had a good turnout and we encourage our network members to promote attendance from their company at future events.   

This women's network provides a vital support function for women in the Lab Science industry and helps attract more women into our industry!
