"Breaking the Glass Ceiling: The Urgent Need for More Women in Technical Positions"
In recent years, the tech industry has made strides in promoting diversity and inclusion, but there is still a long way to go regarding increasing the number of women in technical positions. Research shows that European companies need to increase this number by 530,000 to 1.8 million by 2027 to close the gender gap. While many initiatives are underway to address this issue, it remains a pressing challenge, particularly in the tech industry.
One such initiative is Dutch Tech On Heels, a group that aims to promote the positive visibility of women in tech in the Dutch market. This group recognizes that increasing the number of women in technical positions is not just a matter of equal opportunity, but it also makes good business sense. Studies show that diverse teams are more creative, innovative, and productive and that having a more equal representation of women in technical positions can help drive growth and competitiveness.

However, despite the clear benefits of increasing the representation of women in tech, the tech industry still has a long way to go. Women in tech are still far too invisible, and their contributions and achievements often go unnoticed. To help address this issue, Dutch Tech On Heels seeks to raise awareness of the important role that women play in the tech industry and to showcase their achievements. This can help to break down stereotypes and promote a more inclusive culture in the tech industry.
One of the ways in which Dutch Tech On Heels is making a positive impact is by showcasing events that bring together women in tech to share their experiences and connect with one another. Besides that, we provide a platform for women in tech to share their new jobs, their blogs, and knowledge so they can share their ideas, and they also help to raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing women in the tech industry. Additionally, the group works with companies to promote the hiring and promotion of women in technical positions and support women who are starting their careers in tech.
In conclusion, the tech industry must do more to increase the representation of women in technical positions. Research shows that this is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes good business sense. Dutch Tech On Heels is one example of a group that is making a positive impact by promoting the visibility of women in tech and working to address the challenges facing women in the tech industry. We can create a more inclusive and diverse tech industry that benefits everyone by working together.
