Athena AI Network
A curated ecosystem connecting trusted AI solution providers with Athena's global STEM community ready to adopt, deploy, and scale AI—faster, smarter, and in community. AI adoption is no longer limited by technology—it’s limited by trust, leadership readiness, and workforce capability. The Athena AI Access Network bridges that gap through its community-driven leadership platform.
WHY ATHENA | Athena is a global leadership organization that accelerates women in STEM through leadership development, workforce upskilling, and trusted community exchange.
For more than 25 years, Athena has operated at the intersection of leadership, technology, and talent—supporting 50 corporate partners representing 1.5M employees and a global member network across 170+ countries.
WHAT IS ATHENA AI NETWORK | In today’s AI-first economy, Athena serves as a business performance partner—helping organizations strengthen leadership capability, build AI fluency, and adopt technology responsibly through trusted ecosystems.
The Athena AI Network provides select AI and technology providers with direct, high-trust access to decision-makers actively navigating AI adoption, scale, and workforce transformation.
This is not sponsorship. This is market access with credibility.
