“EY is delighted to be powering the inaugural ‘Level Up’ Women in Tech Summit. Science and technology hold the promise of creating a better working world for all of us. But with less than a third of the world’s technical workforce being women, we run the risk of bias being built into our future.
To ensure that technology is a force for good for us all, we need to welcome the widest range of perspectives into its design, development and deployment. And that starts with enabling women to play their part.
At EY, our Women in Technology programme supports girls and women to enter, remain, thrive and lead in the world of technology.”
