WOMEN IN TECH® Global is pleased to announce the formalization of a strategic partnership with France’s Foreign Trade Advisors (CCE), signed at BERCY, the French Ministry of Finance & Economy, on July 11, 2025. This agreement represents a significant advancement in the commitment of both organizations to foster women’s innovation and enhance international collaboration in the technology sector.
The partnership brings together the global reach of WOMEN IN TECH®, representing over 300,000 members across 60 countries, and the longstanding expertise of the CCE, an institution with more than 125 years of experience supporting French enterprises abroad. The collaboration is designed to create new opportunities for women entrepreneurs, promote international exchange, and further position France as a leader in women’s tech entrepreneurship.
The agreement was signed by Ayumi Moore Aoki, Founder and CEO of WOMEN IN TECH® Global, and Sophie Sidos, President of the CCE and the first woman to hold this position in the organization’s history. Both leaders emphasized the importance of this alliance in providing women innovators with access to international markets and resources, reinforcing a shared vision for advancing gender diversity in technology.
This partnership was made possible through the strategic guidance of Claudine Leprince, the bridge-building efforts of Anne Baer, and the ongoing leadership of Angela Naser, Director of Women in Tech® France. WOMEN IN TECH® Global and the CCE will announce further joint initiatives and programs in the coming months as part of their continued dedication to supporting women in technology and international business.
