About this event

Inspiring Women to Lead Innovation

We have invited female founders, connectors, leaders, innovators and investors to celebrate the roles women play and their impact on the UK tech eco-system. The Summit seeks to reshape perceptions that technology and tech leadership are dominated by men and to elevate the achievements of women.


Session I - Women Leading UK Innovation

What is it like to be a woman leading a tech company? What are the particular challenges female founders face when raising finance or running a tech company? 

As part of our talk, guests will share their journeys with us, discussing challenges and successes along the way.

Session II - Inspiring Women’s Leadership

The discussion will revolve around leadership, fostering an inclusive culture, building resistance and inspiring future leaders.


This event is brought to you in collaboration with chapters in Scotland, Isle of Man, Liverpool, Newcastle.
