“In order to thrive the technology industry needs to be reflective of the society it serves. And bright ideas come from diverse thinking and experiences from all walks of life and all regions. As businesses are crying out for digital skills everywhere, this shortfall must be taken seriously and building skills in every corner of the country matters more than ever before.”
JACQUELINE DE ROJAS CBE, PRESIDENT, TECH UK
“We need more women in tech, in business, in leadership, in investment, and in every corner women are under-represented. Why? Very simply; men and women together, make better decisions than one gender does alone. It’s no secret that when business consists of more people from different backgrounds, they often come up with more diverse ideas, perspectives and considerations. I am a woman, and I work in technology. I am so proud to say that. I want more women to have the opportunity say the same.”
PATRICIA KEATING | DIRECTOR, TECH MANCHESTER
“We now know that ensuring tech is diverse is not just the right thing to do, it is also smart business. And for tech to be truly inclusive and diverse, we must move the dial everywhere, not just in London. With so much already going on in Manchester and the NW, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect, to share, to learn and to collaborate.”
DEBBIE FORSTER MBE, CEO, TECH TALENT CHARTER
