TechTogether is back, building on the momentum of our 2024/2025 campaigns and our Women in Tech spotlight in March 2023, as we keep marching forward to close the diversity gap in tech.
In our pursuit of a more equitable future, in 2026 we are focusing on supporting the next generation by joining the National Careers Week campaign, empowering women in tech, advancing equity by design, and evolving the landscape of online safety. True digital inclusion is the foundation of an equitable tech future. By supporting the future workforce, embedding inclusion into product design, and ensuring online safety evolves alongside digital access, we aim to enable everyone to participate confidently and securely in the digital world.
Together, these priorities bring TechTogether’s mission to life; breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all. Technology companies hold significant influence and a powerful opportunity to drive positive social change. This month is a chance to celebrate the progress organisations are making on diversity, equity, and inclusion, while recognising the work that still lies ahead.
