Fembrunch #2 at HUG: Empowering Young Ukrainian Women in Tech & Business

Fembrunch is an inspiring event for young Ukrainian women who are interested in building careers in technology and business in Sweden.

After the success of our first Fembranch, we came together again to share experiences, build connections, and learn from women who have forged remarkable career paths in Sweden

Our guest speakers:

Lisa Churkina, Producer Digital Content Lead at Volvo Cars, and Daryna Pesina, Senior Project Coordinator at Chalmers/EuMA, shared their professional journeys, discussing career choices and pathways in the Swedish tech landscape. Together we went through the challenges they faced, the decisions that shaped their paths, and what it takes to grow professionally in a new country.

Mónica Andrea Cabarcas, Project Manager at Business Region Göteborg AB, spoke about the broader picture of integration — not just professional, but social and cultural as well. She highlighted how women are shaping Sweden's modern workplace and what it means to find your place in a new professional environment while staying true to yourself.

Beyond career advice, we talked about the realities of starting over, building confidence in a new system, and finding balance between ambition and well-being.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Fembranch on Sunday!

We're deeply proud to see Fembrunch growing into a supportive community where young Ukrainian women can find inspiration, build networks, and form genuine friendships.
