#TechBcn4Women

Tech Barcelona launches the Working Group TechBcn – 4Women, a working group to connect companies and women’s associations that are working in favour of female talent in the tech sector, and to accompany them in the creation of joint projects that accelerate the achievement of parity within the industry.

Working Group TechBcn – 4Women has the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya as well as the participation of Global Partners of the Association and representatives of initiatives committed to this effect. The group aims to accelerate female leadership initiatives in technology and entrepreneurship, to energise and set the public agenda on diversity in organisations and, above all, to generate success stories in companies in the digital and technological ecosystem of Barcelona, with the capacity of impacting corporate cultures and social transformation.

The first session was attended by more than 20 corporate partners of Tech Barcelona and professional organisations, and with the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Since its foundation in 2013, Tech Barcelona has been committed to the parity and visibility of women entrepreneurs in the tech sector. In 2019, the Association launched TechBcn – 4Women, a series of presentations to raise the profile of female talent.

In June 2022 it also promoted, together with the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Barcelona chapter of “Woman In Tech”, an international non-profit organisation whose mission is to break the gender gap. Now Tech Barcelona is taking a step forward: the Working Group is the format in which the Association brings together its members and partners to meet, identify and reflect on technological solutions, share challenges and knowledge and support public policy strategies; the Working Group is also the vehicle for Tech Barcelona’s programme of activities and content.
