Women in IT: Progress Requires Diversity
Although the IT industry is growing rapidly, women remain significantly underrepresented. In Austria, the proportion of women in IT professions is around 18%, while the EU average is 19%—with only a slow upward trend. Female professionals are particularly underrepresented in technical leadership positions.
But why is this a problem? Diversity is a key success factor: Studies show that diverse teams are more creative, innovative, and economically successful. Companies with high gender diversity benefit from better problem-solving capabilities, stronger market adaptability, and higher employee satisfaction.
More Women in IT – Shaping the Future Together!
To change these numbers, more than good intentions are needed. It takes visibility, role models, and networks. IT Futures creates exactly this space: for exchange, inspiration, and concrete career opportunities – regardless of gender, background, or experience.
