It’s no secret that women are underrepresented in the STEM industries with only 20% of tech jobs held by women. This presents a huge gender gap in the science and technology fields and it’s not only doing a disservice to women, but to the industry and humanity as a whole.

Here’s why.

WomenTech Network launched on 4th February its first event in Berlin - at SumUp’s established office, on Grunerstraße 13.

“We are thrilled to expand our global network with a brand new chapter in Berlin, as one of Europe’s most dynamic tech hubs,” said Anna Radulovski, WomenTech’s CEO & Founder. “Our amazing team was happy to welcome everyone to WomenTech Berlin 2020” 

Women Tech Berlin events connect companies that put diversity at the top of their agendas with female engineers, data scientists, UX designers, product managers and other tech talents. 

With 2020 well underway, it’s time to start thinking about how to make it YOUR year. One great way to give your tech career a boost is to get out there and attend some of the women in tech events. Not only are they a perfect opportunity to network with other great minds and talent in the industry, but they are also a great way to find out about new opportunities and grow your tribe!

The Founder Institute's mission is to empower talented and motivated people to build impactful companies that create one million jobs. This includes talented and motivated people of all backgrounds, and as such, we are committed to empowering women to build great technology companies. 

The world of tech is known for being extremely male-dominated, with women in the STEM industries often experiencing sexism, inequalities, feelings of inadequacy or impostor syndrome. Unfortunately, it’s an age-old problem, with many examples throughout the history of science, technology and discovery that still prevails today.
 

Despite concerted efforts, the gender gap in the tech industry is still pretty huge-- which is why we do what we do! WomenTech Network exists to help close this gap and overcome inequalities in the tech workplace.
 
While there are many possible reasons for fewer female techs, a recent study conducted by Kieran Snyder has suggested that gender differences in how a resume is written and presented could be a contributing factor.
 

It’s that time of year again! When we begin to reflect on the past 12 months and start to think about the year ahead. The new year, and a new decade, is just around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to make some career boosting plans.

Whether you are looking for a new job, a promotion, or just want to take the next step in your professional life, here are 10 resolution ideas that can help you make 2020 YOUR year!
 

On December 17th, 2019, IT One will organize the first ever IT Ladies Night, an evening dedicated to celebrate the contribution of Women to the IT Sector, highlighting their best initiatives and projects. Several local and international experts will take the stage to share their knowledge, before meeting during the networking cocktail and further discuss the topic, prior to the ceremony of the Luxembourg ICT Women Awards.

WomenTech Network successfully completed its first event in the heart of Europe, Luxembourg - at Docler Holding's Luxembourg office in Kirchberg.

As featured previously in Silicon Luxembourg:

“The digital world is clearly not limited to a single gender, and the Luxembourg event proved once again that there are more and more women excelling in the field."

After an exciting month with successful events in Western and Eastern Europe, we're full of inspiration to drive business to a more gender-balanced future. WomenTech Network is keeping busy during the holiday season, too! With every next day, the calendar with dates all over Europe is coming together.
