This year’s Women In Tech Awards are just around the corner, so who’s in with a shot of taking home a trophy?
Now in its second year, the event is a celebration of the diverse women doing incredible things in tech in Ireland. The nominees for 2019 represent international giants, native start-ups and everything in between and highlight the extent of female talent and innovation in an industry that we’re often told is ‘male-dominated’.
