Girl Tech was established in 2018 to address the lack of female representation in the tech and digital sectors. Since then, it has grown year on year attracting young people whose gender is underrepresented in the industry to network with role models and discover their place within a career in digital and technology.
Our goal is to debunk myths surrounding the digital sector by introducing young women to inspirational role models from a range of backgrounds who have built their careers in the digital and tech industry. The initiative aims to showcase the myriad of exciting roles available within this field, not just in technical or specialist roles but in every area in the sector.
Girl Tech is a highlight of the year with industry-leading digital & tech businesses joining forces to inspire the next generation of talent and improve diversity, inclusion and skills challenges in the industry.
Our flagship event in the West Midlands in back on 5 July 2024!
The West Midlands digital sector was recently named the UK’s fastest-growing region, on track to create an extra 52,000 digital tech jobs and grow by £2.7 billion. To realise the potential in the region, we need a strong pipeline of future talent who can see themselves in a career in digital and technology. That’s why Girl Tech West Midlands is back for another year, bringing together the best of digital & tech.
It was good to have the opportunity to tell young women about the career options available to them, and especially the different routes into those industries since I was unaware of it at their age but have been able to get my current position without a computer science degree.
