Where else can we confess our love to women entrepreneurs better than in Paris? 😍🇫🇷 The city of love is officially waiting for us next week, as the Aurora Tech Award will ultimately join one of the biggest events in the industry, Women In Tech Global Summit, hosted by WOMEN IN TECH ® Global 🔥😱. Get ready for a little bragging: it’s not going to be just a regular visit as a guest (although even this type of participation would be enormous). Our representative and gender mainstreaming advocate Maria Rudnik will have a fireside chat moderated by the WITG former Global Program Director and Essence App CEO and Founder Elina Vale 😎💁♀️ The Topic is “How to break barriers for female founders”. Within the chat, there will be a conversation dedicated to the underrepresentation of female founders, especially in LATAM, Africa, and Asia. We believe we can help overcome all the obstacles and crush that glass ceiling 💪. Additionally, on the same day of May 7th, head of the Aurora Tech Award Ekaterina Smirnova will judge a pitch competition that will take place right after the above-mentioned fireside chat. World, hold on! We’re about to enter the networking game like queens 💃👑. 📅May 7th, Women In Tech Global Summit ✔️Fireside chat: How to break barriers for female founders? ✔️Pitching competition Are you happening to visit the Women in Tech Summit?

The tech industry is facing significant disparities: only 26% of tech workers are women, and a mere 2.2% are Black women, and 1.9% are Latina women. This stark reality underscores the urgent need for Inclusive Tech-Based Economic Development (TBED) to foster a more equitable tech ecosystem. In our latest report, "Tech Equity In Action," NGIN has collaborated with tech ecosystems nationwide to outline five transformative strategies that aim to turn tech equity from aspiration into reality. Authored by NGIN Advisor Mari Kate Mycek, PhD, and funded by the Siegel Family Endowment, this report delves into best practices for inclusive #TBED, focusing on processes and outcomes that enhance diverse participation in the tech economy.
