Women in Tech Group
Our Women in Tech Group is a network dedicated to supporting women at every stage of their tech careers, helping them to start, thrive and stay in the tech sector.
Through the group, we use the voices of our members, along with our convening power and interface, to drive collaboration between UK Government and industry in enabling inclusivity in the tech sector.
Diversity and inclusion sits at the heart of digital growth. We understand that innovation thrives from diversity of thought and that attracting, recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce is important to the continued growth of the tech sector. Through our Women in Tech Group, we help women start, thrive and remain in tech.
Our focus:
- Amplifying and raising awareness: We spotlight and champion initiatives across our network that advance women in the tech ecosystem.
- Driving policy change: We provide policy insight, engage with UK Government stakeholders and help shape policy that supports women in tech, including through the Government's Women in Tech Taskforce.
- Collaboration: We facilitate networking and peer-learning opportunities through techUK events, strategic partnerships and cross-sector collaboration.
- Women in Tech Taskforce: Our group provides a forum for techUK members to directly input into the Government’s Women in Tech Taskforce, on which Sue Daley OBE, techUK’s Director of Technology and Innovation, sits
- Building relationships: We bring together a diverse network of women from across the tech ecosystem, from those early in their careers through to founders and leaders. Our group meets quarterly, with the ability to meet on an ad hoc basis
