Our values

Vision

As more and more women take the road less traveled, they pave the way for future generations to innovate, create, develop, and inspire. These women take action and make an impact in an industry dominated by men. At the Nordic Women in Tech Awards, we strive to put these trailblazers in the spotlight.

Our goal is to act as a megaphone for these outstanding women and amplify their voices in an industry that is in dire need of more creative solutions and fresh perspectives. By shining a light on their achievements, we hope to inspire the next generation of women to take on the challenge of a career in tech and to help create a more diverse and inclusive industry. Join us in celebrating these remarkable women and their contributions to the tech community.

Mission

We believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity, and our ultimate goal is to make a positive contribution to the tech industry by inspiring the next generation of diverse and talented tech professionals. Join us in celebrating and supporting these remarkable women as we work together to create a more inclusive and innovative future for the Nordic tech community.

The future will be made by creators and not consumers.
The Tech industry badly needs female perspective. It’s our responsibility to make sure that we involve the other half of the population on Earth in building technologies that influence our lives and lives of the next generations.
