Mentoring the Future Innovators: Girls’ and Boys’ Day

At Delivery Hero, we believe in Bringing Good Vibes by creating a positive impact that extends into our local communities.

This year, we once again opened our doors for Girls’ and Boys’ Day, a nationwide initiative designed to challenge gender stereotypes in the professional world and inspire young minds to explore broader career paths.

Breaking Barriers: What is Girls’ and Boys’ Day?

Girls’ Day focuses on sectors where women are traditionally underrepresented, such as IT, natural sciences, and technology. By offering hands-on tech experience, we aim to enhance future career prospects and earning potential for young women.

Boys’ Day invites young men to explore roles in social, educational, and care-oriented fields. Through immersive workshops, we aim to strengthen social skills and inspire new life paths in areas where men are less common.

A Tech-First Approach: 2026 Workshops & Innovations

This year, we hosted 24 bright students aged 13 to 18 from schools across the region. The day was split into two high-impact tracks:

1. Girls in Tech: Building with AI

Adopting a problem-solving mindset, the students identified real-world challenges and developed technical solutions. The session culminated in a live demo of three fully functional AI applications built by the students in just one day.

2.  Boys in Design: Professional Wireframing

By the end of the day, they had produced three detailed app wireframes that achieved a near production-ready standard, proving that creativity and empathy are the core of great design.

Real Stories from Heroes

The day closed with a session led by two of our senior leaders, Katrin Abwerzger and Christina Lee. By sharing their distinct personal and professional journeys, they offered a window into the reality of life at a global tech giant.

Despite coming from different backgrounds and navigating unique career hurdles, both women demonstrated that leadership isn't “one-size-fits-all”. Whether you start in tech, or a completely different field, your trajectory at Delivery Hero is fuelled by your perspective and resilience, not just a specific degree.

The 2026 Vision: Curiosity Over Stereotypes

Why does Delivery Hero host this event? Our commitment to inclusivity ensures that students from all backgrounds feel empowered as future innovators. Our primary objective for 2026 is Career Empowerment and Representation.
