“As a cost conscious business we choose our sponsorships carefully. Vanessa and the team at WeAreTheCity easily stand out. With a consistent, energetic message and fantastic learning and growth opportunities the offering is always expanding. What impressed me most last year was the time and consideration that went into the ‘package’ presented to the award recipients of TechWomen100 awards. This was not just a glass award for your shelf. This was an on-going opportunity and membership to a wealth of information and networking to a community of women at the forefront of changing an industry globally. I keep waiting for Vanessa’s call about new ways to get involved. BAE Systems is a very proud supporter and sponsor of WeAreTechWomen.”

We are proud to support the TechWomen100 Awards and in particular the Tech Network of the Year Award because we believe in the importance of developing digital and business leadership skills, which will fuel efforts to make the UK a digital nation of significance. Networks that support the careers of women in tech through access to resources and learning-based events are keys to us making tangible progress.
More women should be encouraged and prepared to take on business leadership roles. To secure this future, we must first ensure that today’s business culture is fit for purpose. The TechWomen100 Awards identify today’s and tomorrow talent and works to arm them with the digital, commercial and leadership skills they need to be drivers for prosperity, both in terms of positive societal impact as well as profit – we see the two sitting hand-in hand.”

“I am very proud to be able to support the TechWomen100 award winners in my role as Professor of Computer Science and Technology Evangelist at Durham University. 20 years after setting up the UK’s first online network for women in tech BCSWomen women in tech still only represent 17% of the industry, and that needs to change! We will only see progression by continuing to make a conscious effort to invest in these women and by putting programmes and initiatives in place to support their careers. I am really looking forward to supporting this year’s winners by hosting them at Durham University in June, I am sure it will be a hugely inspiring day for all of us.”
