Amelie Olsen Becomes WiTech’s New Chairwoman — Sigma Technology Strengthens Its Role as Main Sponsor

WiTech, Kronoberg’s first women’s tech network, has appointed Amelie Olsen, Unit Manager at Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions, as its new Chairwoman. At the same time, Sigma Technology renews its commitment as main sponsor — further strengthening its focus on gender equality and inclusion in the tech industry.

With over 250 members from 30 companies across Kronoberg and Kalmar, WiTech has grown into a strong meeting place for women in IT and technology. Founded in 2017 in Växjö, the network’s goal is to inspire more girls and women to pursue a career in tech and to build bridges between students, academia, and industry.

“Diversity, equality, and inclusion are essential to a workplace where everyone feels safe and motivated. I want to drive WiTech forward by creating more opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing, and by showing that a gender-equal tech industry is a stronger tech industry,” says Amelie Olsen.

New initiative: WiTech takes over “IT Woman of the Year”

Starting in 2025, WiTech—together with Linnaeus University—will be responsible for the “IT Woman of the Year” award in the Linnaeus region. The prize is awarded to a woman who actively works for inclusion and diversity and who inspires more people to choose a career in IT.

“Highlighting female role models is crucial to attracting the next generation of talent to the industry. ‘IT Woman of the Year’ is our major initiative to increase gender equality in the region,” says Amelie Olsen.

Sigma Technology continues support as main sponsor

Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions has long supported WiTech through mentorship programs, youth initiatives, and networking events. With the renewed sponsorship, the company strengthens its position as one of Sweden’s leading actors in advancing gender equality in the tech sector.

“We are proud to stand behind WiTech and its important work. Continuing our sponsorship is a natural step for us. It is important to be strategic in our partnerships, and WiTech’s efforts go hand in hand with our own initiatives such as Femmegineering. Together, we can accelerate the development of a more equal and sustainable industry,” says Daniel Björkman, President at Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions.

Sigma Technology is represented in WiTech by Amelie Olsen (chairwoman) and Oleksandra Kryshtapiuk (board member).
