ON A MISSION TO EMPOWER 5 MILLION WOMEN
AND GIRLS IN STEM BY 2030
Why we exist
For the past 4 decades the gender gap in tech has widened, with only 1 woman in 5 people working in the industry today.
WOMEN IN TECH is changing that.
Who are we?

We promote girls’ and women’s empowerment around the world, with a focus on Sustainable Development Goal 5b: harnessing technologies.

EDUCATION
“I was a waitress in a hostel with a 18 month baby when I applied for the Women in Tech Coding Camp in 2018. It gave me the courage to skill myself and become a front-end developer. Today I am a managing director of an IT firm in Skopje.”
