More than ever, the issue of systemic racism is everybody's business. At different levels, and in different sectors, activists, organizations, policy makers, celebrities and companies are standing against all kinds of discrimination. Words and means may vary from one place to another, from one language to another, but ultimately the battle remains the same.
This battle is even more important for the additive manufacturing industry, as the tech industry in general already strives to promote gender equality.
In this regard, this 2020 edition of the Diversity for AM (DfAM) report aims to shed light on existing actions that promote diversity and inclusion towards minority groups on the one hand and on the other hand, to raise awareness on the need for more actionable takeaways towards people from minority groups, to create a more diverse industry.
