You’ve probably heard it before, but we’re going to say it once more: technology isn’t going anywhere. And because entrepreneurs worldwide know that, they’ve managed to create what seems like endless opportunities and business ventures in the tech space.
If it isn’t a new physical tech product, it’s groundbreaking software. If it isn’t pioneering software, it’s a tech agency teaching people how to use various tech tools. And the list goes on and on.
The thing is, women are responsible for a significant chunk of the tech industry’s evolution. In more detail, let’s look at how women are making strides in tech.
Women are Making Strides in the Tech Space
Recent data on women in the tech industry reveals that women make up about a quarter of the population in STEM and computer science occupations. This may seem like a small number, but it’s a significant improvement from prior years.
It’s also only the start of the strides women are making in the tech space. For example, we’re rapidly advancing in newly developed tech-related industries, like fintech. Women in fintech enjoy a comfortable wage, an intense demand for their skill set, and a meaningful role in making finances more manageable for people. 
In addition, IT development, generally, is on the rise. Companies will embrace artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, 5G wireless connection, and cybersecurity tech even more in the future. Women are taking advantage of this technology boom by securing positions centered on the above.
We’re making a push for leadership positions in tech as well. Gloria Wu, Naomi Lackaff, and Rhian Lewis are just a few tackling the digital space to make it more welcoming and supportive for women.
Influencers like Rawan, Maya Bello, Hosanna Hali, other Black women in tech are making waves online by circling other women interested in the tech space and providing them with tips, resources, and advice on how to break in successfully.
And don’t forget about women starting and growing tech companies. Odunayo Eweniyi, Kristina Ashley Williams, and Lilly Mittenthal are just a few names on the growing list of women founders in the tech space.
Although we have a long way to go, women are changing the face of the tech industry every day.
