Women in Tech Group

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 government stakeholders and help shape policy that supports women in tech

• Collaboration: we connect members for networking and peer learning through our events, strategic partnerships and cross-sector collaboration

• Building relationships: we bring together a diverse network of women from across the tech ecosystem, from those early in their careers to founders and leaders

Start, thrive and stay

Start - Female founders are at a record high, yet women remain underrepresented in the UK’s entrepreneurial landscape. Addressing barriers such as gender bias in investment, limited financial education and awareness of networking opportunities is essential to help more women start and scale tech organisations.

Thrive - Closing the gender pay gap, offering clear career progression and investing in women-led start-ups and SMEs help make sure women not only enter tech careers but also thrive and lead.

Stay - Retaining women in technology is essential to increasing the number of female leaders and role models across the sector. We support efforts to tackle workplace barriers and create environments where women can stay, grow and lead.

Women in Tech Taskforce

The group gives techUK members a forum to contribute directly to the government’s Women in Tech Taskforce, launched in December 2025 to advise on how government can better support diversity in the tech sector. Our Director of Technology and Innovation sits on the Taskforce alongside other senior female tech leaders. Through this work, we support efforts to break down barriers to inclusion, coordinate action across government and industry, and improve access to capital for female-led organisations.
