Women’s network Everywoman announces the winners of its 2017 Everywoman in technology awards, sponsored by FDM.
Everywoman has announced the winners of the 2017 FDM Everywoman in Technology awards, which showcases the great women working in the technology industry.
Sponsored by FDM, Everywoman runs the awards every year to celebrate the achievements of women in the science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) industries.
Everywoman co-founder Maxine Benson claimed the awards help to remind the country and the tech industry that women play a “vital role” in the growth and success of both the UK and its tech sector.
“With research telling us that gender-balanced teams provide better outcomes, there has never been a better time to applaud women’s success and demonstrate their impact, thereby encouraging younger generations to embrace the opportunities offered by a Stem career,” s he said.
Many claim a lack of role models in the industry is the reason girls do not choose Stem careers, as they are unaware of the jobs available in the industry and cannot see anyone like themselves in these roles to encourage them to work towards these careers.
