Who We Are?
EQL:HER is a global network and event series dedicated to achieving gender balance in the technology sector, ensuring women a more inclusive and equitable future across all industries. Our mission is driven by:
- Energising Discussions: Creating unique spaces for women to connect, share, and find inspiration.
- Engaging a Diverse Audience: Bringing together women leaders, founders, change-makers, and allies to build a supportive community.
- Elevating Women: Creating real opportunities for women to drive meaningful change in tech.
Tackling The Underrepresentation Of Women In Technology
Our mission is to see more women in founding teams, corporate C-Suites, startup boards, investment committees, and throughout organizations of all sizes. By doing so, we aim to combat the current trend of technology leaving women behind and work towards closing the societal gender inequality gap.
EQL:LOUNGE
Our EQL:LOUNGE serves as a dynamic networking hub at London Tech Week and Africa Tech Festival, dedicated to empowering women and their allies. This vibrant space is designed to foster connections, ignite meaningful discussions, and shape the future of inclusivity in the tech world.
