Women have always been central to the growth and evolution of technology. Yet, recent statistics show that women remain underrepresented in the technology industry. Bummer isn’t it?
This International Women’s Day, themed “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” emphasises the urgent need to support and empower women in technology.
Women should be encouraged to pursue paths in building technology solutions, and their innovations should be celebrated and supported. That’s what we’re doing with the Moniepoint Women in Tech Internship.
