The TechWomen100 awards are back and this year, we’re going bigger, louder and prouder than ever before.

Now in our ninth year, the WeAreTechWomen TechWomen100 awards shine a spotlight on the incredible women in tech who are breaking new ground, across every sector, at every level below director. These are the future leaders, coders, engineers, creatives and changemakers driving real impact today.

But this isn’t just about individual recognition, it’s about celebrating the collective movement that’s transforming the face of tech. We’re championing the allies, companies and communities helping to open doors, challenge the status quo and build a better, fairer industry for all.
