The 8th WOMEN IN TECH ® Global Awards, held in 2025, was a landmark event honoring extraordinary women, allies, and initiatives reshaping the future of technology. This edition united 65 remarkable finalists from 52 countries across seven regions, reflecting the organization’s long-standing commitment to diversity, inclusion, and global progress in the tech sector.

Across a three-month journey that spanned continents—from Kyoto (APAC) to Panama City (LATAM), Toronto (North America), Johannesburg (Africa), Almaty (Caucasus & Central Asia), Brussels (Europe), and the Middle East—the global spotlight settled in Paris at the iconic Palais du Luxembourg for a spectacular celebration of achievement and aspiration.
