TechWomen100 Awards

After the successful launch of TechWomen50 in 2017, WeAreTechWomen expanded our reach to recognise the achievements of 100 women in tech in 2018.  We also set a strategic objective to use the awards to highlight 1,000 future female tech leaders by 2030. To date, we have celebrated the success of over 670 incredible women, alongside outstanding tech networks, senior champions who are driving change and companies and lifetime achievers who are doing their upmost to support the careers of their female technologists.

Now in their seventh year, the TechWomen100 awards are once again looking to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women working in technology.

Given our strategic objective of supporting female technologists, the activities of WeAreTechWomen and the success of our Rising Star awards, we are proud to host an awards series that showcases emerging tech talent and creates role models for the tech industry.

The process


Nominations will open online on 06 June via WeAreTechWomen. Nominations will close after a four-week period on 06 July.

A shortlist of 200 women from a range of technology disciplines will be chosen in August by an esteemed panel of judges. There will also be a shortlist of three Champions, Global Award of Achievement, Companies and Networks.

The shortlist will then be published and we will also open the TechWomen100 individual category for public votes of support.

Winners will be announced in September and be invited to celebrate their achievement at our ticketed ceremony on 16 November (please note there is a cost associated with attending the awards ceremony). During the evening, we will celebrate with live entertainment and present awards to our TechWomen100, a Champion of the Year, a Global Award of Achievement, a Company of the Year, Network of the Year, Public Vote winner and our Editor’s Choice Award.

Why TechWomen100?


It is no secret that the technology industry lacks female representation at all levels. Women make up just 17 per cent of the industry. There are some fantastic awards for women working in tech, however, most of these focus on senior women.

Whilst we feel it is extremely necessary to highlight senior and influential women, we also believe the pipeline of female technologists need a platform to shine.

This is why the TechWomen100 Awards were created. Our awards focus solely on women working in tech below director level. We hope that by highlighting the accolades of up-and-coming inspirational female tech talent, we can help to create a new generation of female role models for the industry, and a pipeline of future leaders.
