At Tech Nation, we don’t need an excuse to shine a light on the fantastic work being done by women in UK tech. However, International Women’s Day provides a welcome opportunity to highlight those who should be recognised and celebrated.
As Entrepreneur Engagement Manager for the East of England, Thea Goodluck regularly encounters new faces working in the industry – from female founders to data scientists, digital designers, and other women-in-tech.
While it’s not possible to include them all, based on their inspiring work being carried out in the East of England’s tech sector, Thea has chosen to highlight the 10 women below on Twitter. Why not give them the retweet they deserve?
After that, see who made our other regional lists on International Women’s Day:
Since joining @TechNation last year I have had the pleasure of meeting amazing women who are doing incredible work in #digital #tech across the East of England. For #InternationalWomensDay I wanted to highlight just a few I have had the pleasure to work with so far 👏 #IWD2020
