This year is our seventh annual WeAreTechWomen TechWomen100 awards and it promises to be the best yet! We created TW100 to highlight and champion the achievements of the brilliant women in tech who will become our stars of the future.
While we celebrate inspirational women who are up-and-coming through the ranks, we must also give our heartfelt thanks to everyone who actively enables change in the industry. These might be both men and women, organisations, companies and external enablers. We celebrate all the people who are making tech a better, more equal industry and are now looking for nominations across our six categories…

A female individual who works within the tech industry, whose current position is below director level.
- The individual demonstrates a high level of competence within their role
- The individual demonstrates a clear passion for technology, this may be through extra curricular activities

This award is open to all women, regardless of age, but nominees must be working in the UK.

Why YOU should nominate
Every year, we are completely blown away by the talent coming through the tech industries across all sectors. Brilliant women in cyber security, engineers bringing their whole selves to work, women in AI, deep-learning, ChatGPT, ethics, gaming, education… the list goes on. We have been blown away by women in distant lands who have risked their lives for education – their own and others. Male allies who have championed women at work.
But best of all, we have seen how the TechWomen100 has turned the dial on the awareness that there is a problem with the under-representation of women in tech. We acknowledge the problem and celebrate all of those who are helping to make a difference.
We intend to celebrate, reward and champion 1000 female technologists by 2030. Help us to highlight the amazing work women are doing in the tech sector by giving us your nomination today. But hurry, nominations close on July 6th.
