- Origins of Women in Tech Global: Ayumi’s personal experiences as a woman entrepreneur in tech led her to create our organization. She recognized the need for a global community that provides both networking support and on-the-ground programs to help women embrace technology.
- Our Four Pillars: Women in Tech Global focuses on education, business, digital inclusion, and advocacy to create a more inclusive and equitable tech industry.
- The #BeyondCeilings Campaign: In partnership with UN Women, this campaign aims to raise awareness and catalyze action to dismantle the invisible barriers that hinder women’s progress in tech.
- Global Impact: With chapters in 57 countries across 6 continents and over 200,000 members, we’re on a mission to impact 5 million women and girls in STEAM fields by 2030.
- Addressing Underrepresentation: We’re tackling barriers to women’s leadership in tech through advocacy, mentoring programs, education, and skill-building initiatives.
- Future Aspirations: Exciting upcoming projects include a global youth summer school and increased focus on tech diplomacy and policy-making.
Ayumi’s advice to aspiring women in tech: “Follow your dreams and don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. Believing in yourself is key to breaking through limitations.”
