Entrepreneurs and Tech Enthusiasts? Don’t miss the Digital African Woman Annual Conference on 22nd September 2016 in Brussels

Brussels, 29th August 2016

“The Digital African Woman” is an initiative designed under the Digital Global Woman- a program dedicated to support, Educate and Inspire African women into fields of Technology and Entreprenurship across Africa and the Diaspora (the Diaspora covering all women who live outside of their countries of origin). Our vision is an ecosystem where the African and Diaspora Tech and Entrepreneurship  environment is powered by connection, innovation, and access to networks, specialized skills training and investment. With young promising female leaders at the forefront.

This is why DAW conference will introduce an atmosphere where women of Africa, diaspora and beyond, can learn, engage and become empowered to participate more actively within their respective societies. This program addresses issues ranging from tech career and entrepreneurship, to self-esteem, and gender equality. DAW will not onlypromote growth and empowerment, but  draw out already accomplished women in Diaspora to give support and insights that will grow the community of women in tech and entrepreneurship; while providing a push for other women on jump starting a tech career or business move.

As DAW believes the road to present and future economic empowerment for women lies in complete access to entrepreneurship and technology, their program is based on a strong foundation for the African women in tech environment. Thus, they support startups as well as the general public with the addition of  workshop programs which includes a pitch training boot camp and pitch challenge.
