Women in Tech - 2022

Empowering women students to thrive in the tech world.

Why is this program needed?

Almost 52%

But

women in tech workspace
There is a deep imbalance between gender diversity in the tech world. The figures speak for themselves. One of the factors that is posing as barrier to growth in women's representation in the tech industry is mainly the lack of an inclusive ecosystem that encourages women to excel in their chosen field. We're here to change that.

Our Vision

to create an ecosystem that closes the gender gap in the tech industry; a space where women at the graduate level start off on the right foot, acquire skills essential for the professional world, and close the gap for themselves and all the women to come.
