The EQUALS Global Partnership is very pleased to announce the finalists for the 2022 EQUALS in Tech Awards! Congratulations to all the finalists, who were selected from a field of more than 160 nominated initiatives representing 54 countries around the globe.
About the Awards
Every year, the EQUALS in Tech Awards recognize outstanding projects and initiatives around the world that are helping build a brighter digital future for girls and women by bridging the gender digital divide.
Prizes are awarded for outstanding achievement and innovative strategies in five categories: Access, Skills, Leadership in Technology, Leadership in SME (small and medium enterprises) and Research. This year, for the first time, we have also introduced a new award category to recognize and celebrate the work of EQUALS partners, as nominated by their peers within the partnership.
