To make an impact and grow the number of women in digital technology, we have to work together! Along with our partner organisations and ambassadors, we are creating a platform for collaboration, networking, mentoring and career development. The platform addresses two challenges of female professionals today; to lower the barriers to pursue a career in digital technology, and to improve career progress of women in digital businesses.
