TOPX Network offers low-threshold access to a strong network

TOPX Network is accessible to women at every stage of their career: from juniors to executives. “This mix of experience is precisely the strength of the network: young women can learn from role models and experienced women can make valuable connections and also have an impact on the development of the next generation.” Members are informed monthly about activities and news via a newsletter and can also share vacancies with each other. Every year, six online free network meetings are organized for members, each with its own theme. Members can also find each other outside the meetings via the TOPX Platform; an online environment for members. Incidentally, non-members can also register for individual TOPX network meetings.
