Award for female entrepreneurs in ICT

June 19, 2023

The Dona TIC Awards, organized by the Secretariat of Digital Policies of the Government of Catalonia, are now open for applications. These awards have a twofold objective: to recognize and highlight the role of women in the professional, business, and academic worlds of new technologies, and to provide role models for children and adolescents who are unsure whether to pursue this discipline in the future. The presentation of this award takes place within the framework of Ada Lovelace Day, the first programmer in history. This year it will be on October 10.
