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.
Six powerful categories. Endless opportunities to elevate voices that deserve to be heard. If you know someone changing the game, nominate them. If that someone is you – step forward. The future of tech is happening now. Let’s celebrate the women leading it.
