Applications are now open for the Aurora Tech Award 2024 . The Aurora Tech Award is an annual global prize for women founders of technology start-ups. They believe in breaking down barriers and promoting equality in tech entrepreneurship.
Women entrepreneurs in IT face challenges such as investor views, stereotypes and a lack of role models, limiting their representation.
