Why Women EdTech?

A Crucial Issue for the Future

A report published by Dell and the Institute for the Future indicates that 85%: Jobs that don't exist in 2030 again. However, it is certain that these will primarily be in the digital realm.

The Findings

Women account for only 33% of those working in the digital sector. Only 9% of startup founders are women.

The Opportunity

The world of tomorrow will be even more filled with digital tools that will make us more efficient, more connected, and more inclusive. The digital sector is one of the most promising, offering millions of jobs and opportunities for growth.

Our Belief

It is important for women, alongside men, to contribute their perspective on this evolution toward a hyperconnected and inclusive world.

What am I doing

Artificial intelligence used to seem out of my reach. Thanks to the training, I’ve gained skills in data and automation. Today, I’m working on real-world projects and making my way in a field I once thought was out of my reach.

I had a good product but not much visibility. The training helped me structure my offering, improve my communication, and tap into new markets. Today, I’m expanding my business beyond my city.
