Celebrating international women’s day

March 8, 2025 | Blogs

At H2GLASS, we believe that innovation thrives in diverse and inclusive environments. On this International Women’s Day, we are proud to highlight the contributions of Annick Lachance Nyiringango, one of our talented R&D Engineers from Stara Glass, who is playing a crucial role in advancing hydrogen solutions for the glass industry.

Annick’s work focuses on developing sustainable and energy-efficient technologies, contributing to our mission of decarbonizing the glass manufacturing process. Her passion for research and problem-solving makes her an integral part of the H2GLASS team, driving real change in the industry.

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Annick for a short interview, where she shared insights into her journey, what inspires her in her role, and her thoughts on gender equality in STEM fields. You can read the full interview [here].

H2GLASS and Gender Equality in STEM

At H2GLASS, we recognize the importance of gender equality in research, engineering, and the broader energy transition. Our efforts towards gender mainstreaming include:

Encouraging women to pursue careers in STEM by fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment.
Raising awareness and promoting visibility of female engineers, scientists, and innovators in our field.

We believe that diversity drives innovation, and by empowering more women in STEM, we can accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and equitable future.

On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate Annick and all the incredible women who are shaping the future of clean energy and technology. Let’s continue working together towards a world where gender equality is not just an aspiration, but a reality.
