Context

Women In Tech is a Swedish non-profit organisation whose mission is to motivate women to enter and thrive in the technology sector, targeting both newcomers and established professionals, in response to the gender gap in the industry.

Objectives

Its mission centres on inspiring both newcomers and established professionals to envision a future in technology, giving them access to successful, innovative and pioneering figures in the field and fostering an environment of support and inspiration to help close the technology sector's gender gap.

Activities

It runs seminars, workshops and conferences that give participants access to successful and pioneering figures in technology, covering leadership roles, specialised tech careers and other tech-related professions, and offers networking opportunities intended to help women build support networks, connect with mentors, and learn about new technologies and career paths.

Conclusions

The organisation frames itself as an important contributor to gender diversity and equality in a traditionally male-dominated technology sector, with mentorship, coaching and networking positioned as ways to help women overcome career barriers; the source material is the promoter's own description, with no independent outcome evaluation identified.
