The Women Automotive Network began as a grassroots initiative to connect women navigating a traditionally male-dominated industry. What started with a single event has grown into a global force for change—now spanning 114+ countries and connecting over 4 million employees through our partner organisations.
Over the past four years, we’ve evolved into a purpose-driven community, committed to redefining leadership, culture, and opportunity within the mobility sector. From hosting global summits to launching a mentorship programme that has paired over 300 mentors and mentees, our work is driven by a shared belief: that the automotive industry will only reach its full potential when everyone—regardless of gender—has a fair chance to lead, grow, and shape its future.
Our mission is to build a thriving global ecosystem where every automotive professional and company can access the tools, connections, and opportunities needed to drive progress with purpose. We do this by fostering collaboration, championing innovation, and uplifting a community that spans from apprentices to board-level executives.
Our impact is not only measured in numbers but in the stories of those whose careers have been accelerated, whose ideas have been heard, and whose confidence has grown through meaningful participation in this network. By staying true to our values—global perspective, collaboration, community, innovation, and leadership—we continue to support women, empower teams, and redefine workplaces across the automotive industry.
