Why Are Role Models So Important?

Having positive role models which reflect the rich diversity of our society are essential to inspiring the next generation of leaders and talent across the tech ecosystem – building toward a more equitable future.

Our Global Chapters

The exponential growth of the global tech sector over the last few years has amplified the success of inspiring women leaders.


In 2024, we are running a series of InspiringFifty Awards programmes globally to shine a light on outstanding trailblazers, innovators, and boss women who break barriers both in their tech sector and by challenging the industry’s norms of what makes a leader.
