Women are powerful IT and digital drivers.

 

HERE’S WHY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY IS IMPORTANT TO UNICORNS IN TECH

Take a guess, how many tech startups do you think are owned by women? When I asked the women in the Unicorns in Tech office, they guessed none. They were hardly far off – according to Women Who Tech, only five percent of tech startups are owned by women.

Then I asked the girls “do you think more women will own tech startups in the future?” Their answer was definitely. It is nice to hear that they have confidence for the future of women in tech but to implement this and make a change, we need role models.

Where are all the women in tech? Much ink has been spilled answering this question, and one answer might be – they are in Berlin. Join UNICORNS IN TECH at our next Get-Together to celebrate and support women in tech on International Women’s Day.

We are passionate about diversity and equality. But we cannot ignore the fact that our past thirty-nine meetups have been male-dominated.

Why is diversity so important? All genders are different and while that is both factual and debatable depending on who you ask, differences should be celebrated and utilized for optimization, especially in the workplace. Equality of all kinds encourages unbiased decision making and deepens the opportunity for broader thinking.

Furthermore, diversity inspires innovation and while that sounds obvious, women are still under-represented in the tech world. No really, the statistics are quite shocking.

Our next event is taking place not to highlight the underrepresentation of women, but rather celebrate the achievements and success of women around the world. So get involved, get your place at our WOMEN’S EDITION event now.
