Rising Talents: Women Pioneering Tech-driven Change

Description
The tech industry, historically male-dominated, is witnessing a transformative shift. According to the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), women now make up 26% of the tech workforce—a 5% increase over the past five years. Women are emerging as powerful forces, driving innovation and progress in both fledgling startups and established tech giants. From robotics to AI, they are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technologies that promise breakthroughs across various industries. Despite the booming digital technology sector, women still represent only 27% of those employed in digital professions and a mere 15% in tech-specific roles. Join us to celebrate and learn from the Rising Talents who are redefining the tech industry and leading us into the future.
