Why is it important?
Europe faces a critical ICT skills gap, with only 12 million professionals projected by 2030—far below the EU’s 20 million target. Women in Central and Eastern Europe offer untapped potential to bridge this gap, but stereotypes, limited reskilling opportunities, and biases hold them back.
Our study highlights these barriers and presents strategies to empower women in tech, driving inclusivity, innovation, and sustainable growth for all.
Despite these challenges, the study reveals a promising future: women are eager for opportunities that emphasize mentorship, professional networking, and flexible work environments. Creating a robust ecosystem where women feel supported and empowered can unlock the region’s potential as a global leader in tech innovation.
