Emma Marcegaglia attended the 15th edition of the Trophées des Femmes de l’Industrie, organised in Paris by the French magazine L’Usine Nouvelle, an event dedicated to recognising female talent and leadership in the industrial sector.

The initiative celebrates women who have achieved outstanding professional careers in industry, with the aim of promoting gender diversity and highlighting women’s contributions to operational, managerial and leadership roles within manufacturing and industrial companies.

During the event, Emma Marcegaglia was interviewed by Anne-Sophie Bellaiche, Editor-in-Chief of L’Usine Nouvelle, one of France’s leading publications covering business and industry.

In the interview, the President reflected on her entrepreneurial journey within a family-owned industrial group, discussing the transformations experienced over the years, the strategic decisions made and the new opportunities that have shaped Marcegaglia’s growth.

A central theme of the conversation was the importance of striking a balance between staying true to one’s identity and roots while continuously adapting, innovating and reinventing the business to meet future challenges.

The event also provided an opportunity to reflect on female leadership and the importance of recognising diverse skills, experiences and perspectives in shaping the future of industry.
