MTGx initiates Woman in Tech-award

The Women in Tech movement is growing and now takes the next step by initiating the WIT-award. The award wants to recognize the accomplishments of women in technology, and the organizations that recognize their value.

The very first Women in Tech event by MTGx, Google and Spotify took place on International Women’s Day 2014 in Stockholm. The event was a milestone for the movement and the community that has grown rapidly during the past year.

- I’m happy for how well the Women in Tech-message and mission has been received. Last years event marked a starting point of accelerating the engagement in getting more women into Tech. We now increase the awareness of Women in Tech, by initiating the Women in Tech-award were individuals and organizations can be awarded for their achievements performed in true WIT-mission spirit, says Rikard Steiber, CEO MTGx and Viaplay and Chief Digital Offier at MTG.

Women In Tech’s mission is to inspire talented women to consider a future in media and technology by providing the network and experience of successful women and men from the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds.
