Empowering Women in Tech

Empowering Women in Tech is a hybrid event, which will be held on International Women’s Day on 8.3.24. This event is organised by International House Tampere in collaboration with Business Tampere. Participants can choose to join online, via Teams (link will be provided to the registrants who chose online option) and face to face at Finlayson, Tampere.

Tampere, a city at the forefront of technological innovation, is spearheading initiatives to bridge the gender gap in the tech industry. Our mission is clear: to encourage and empower more women to explore and thrive in the ever-evolving field of technology.

This event promises a unique opportunity to delve into the inspiring journeys of women who have successfully navigated the path from studying tech to making significant contributions in the industry. Their stories will not only motivate but also provide valuable insights for those aspiring to carve their niche in tech.

Participating companies from different tech industries will share info about their company and shed light on the initiatives they have undertaken to support and elevate women in their workforce. Gain firsthand knowledge of the progressive strategies employed by these companies to foster an inclusive and diverse tech community.

As a participant, you will have the chance to find out about free tech courses, which allows you to dip your toes into the vast ocean of possibilities before committing to a degree program. Tampere universities will be presenting the different tech degree programs available, and guide you on how you can find out more info about the degree programs and application period.

For those joining us at Finlayson, the experience goes beyond the presentations. After the insightful sessions, seize the opportunity to connect and converse with our fireside speakers and representatives from participating companies. This exclusive networking session is your chance to engage in meaningful discussions, gain personalized insights, and establish valuable connections within the tech industry
