About WomenWise
The tech industry faces a stark decline in the number of women entering, being promoted within, and staying in the field. While more organisations seek more diverse teams with greater female representation, many lack the cultural environments, mentorship programs, inclusive policies, and leadership opportunities necessary to support, retain, and advance them in their careers successfully.
Through tailored mentorship programmes, flagship events, hands-on skill-building opportunities, and targeted community outreach, WomenWise equips women at every stage of their career with the tools, confidence, and networks to succeed. WomenWise has a bold vision: To reach 500,000 women by 2030 and inspire and educate organisations on how to build more gender-diverse tech teams.
