The European startup ecosystem is diverse and has achieved many impossible feats. However, women in technology have not got the same level of recognition as men. But in the recent years, with many women racing up to show their talent in the tech sector, this gender gap is gradually fading away.

As there are not many women entrepreneurs in the tech sector, the ones who exist are highly honoured and celebrated for their hard work. They strive hard to lift up the spirit of the aspirational women in the community to take part in the progress and make their dreams come to reality.
