“Over the past ten years, we’ve seen some welcome progress in the representation of women in technology, yet there’s still work to do. Recent data shows that women now make up around 29% of the UK tech workforce, but that figure drops significantly in technical and senior leadership roles. This is why it remains so important to shine a spotlight on the incredible women already making an impact in our industry. Our TechWomen100 shortlist is a powerful reminder of the talent, innovation, and leadership that exists across every corner of the tech sector. These women are not only breaking barriers — they’re building the future.
