The tech industry is a driving force of innovation, shaping the future of our world. Yet, despite the rapid growth and evolution of the sector, women remain underrepresented in many areas of technology. At Nugi Technologies, we believe that diversity fuels creativity and that the future of tech must be inclusive.

This Women’s Month, let’s explore the current landscape of women in tech and how we’re working to bridge the gap.

The Reality of Women in Tech: The Numbers Tell a Story
Women have made remarkable strides in technology, but there’s still work to do:

🔹 28% of the global tech workforce are women.
🔹 16% of engineering roles are filled by women.
🔹 Only 5% of tech CEOs are women.
🔹 40% of women in tech leave their jobs by age 35, often due to lack of growth opportunities or workplace bias.
🔹 52% of women in tech experience gender bias at some point in their careers.

These statistics reveal systemic challenges, but they also highlight an opportunity to break barriers and create a space where women can thrive.

Why Gender Diversity Matters in Tech
Diverse teams are proven to perform better, bringing different perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. When women have a seat at the table, the industry benefits from fresh ideas, empathetic designs, and a more inclusive approach to technology.

At Nugi Technologies, we understand the power of representation and are committed to creating pathways for women to lead and succeed in tech.
