EY Women in Technology program

The EY Women in Technology program supports girls and women to enter, remain, thrive, and lead in the world of technology for the benefit of everybody.

Join the conversation

We all use technology, but we aren’t all represented equally in tech professions. Globally, women make up almost half (47%) of total employment across non-Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations, but just 28% of all STEM workers are women.¹

This is a missed opportunity for the tech industry, businesses at large and our whole society.

Inclusion of different voices and talents is critical for the future. It is inherent in the vision of solving today’s most complex issues which makes an inclusive tech workforce an economic and social necessity.

By nurturing and supporting girls and women as tech leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators, we can accelerate the pace of progress, improving the lives of individuals and communities through better economic opportunities. The pull through from these opportunities improves the lives of everyone.

How our initiatives support women in technology

The EY Women in Technology program is an inclusive initiative that supports girls and women to enter, remain, thrive and lead in the world of technology. We welcome people of any background and gender to act in advancing this important undertaking. Explore our five workstreams and get in touch to learn more or be involved:

The EY STEM App – this innovative app offers gamified content focused on science and technology and includes inspirational stories of women in STEM. It is being rolled out to girls aged 13-18 worldwide. Read the press release or the case study to learn more.

Global EQUALS partnership – a public-private sector effort to eliminate gender bias in technology. The EY organization is co-leading the HER DIGITAL SKILLS program with GSMA, W4 and the United Nation’s International Telecommunication Unit (ITU), dedicated to bridging the digital divide in the technology sector by championing access, skills development and career opportunities for women and men alike.
We cannot be what we cannot see. We need to put the spotlight on successful women in technology and create a sense of belonging to educate, inspire and encourage women within technology-related roles - at EY and beyond.

In the spotlight webcast series: We’re showcasing insights from inspiring women who made their career in technology and explore the experiences and choices they’ve made on their journey. These insights could help shape the next step in your personal technology career.

Supporting women at all stages of their careers: The EY organization is committed to nurture talent with a variety of different programs. Through the Devi program participants analyze and discuss case studies to learn for future challenges. Other programs that we run help women re-enter the working world after longer career breaks, such as the Re-instate program in India. To continuously educate and advance our employees in technology, the EY Tech MBA is available across the globe for all employees across all ranks.

The Collaboration Circles Program: An initiative that connects small groups of people, working together to share, learn, gain skills and build connections. It aims to build networks, promote career development and inclusiveness and provide a space to realize everyone’s full potential at EY and beyond.

Global relationships between the EY organization and external networks like WomenTech Network and Women in Cloud provide EY employees opportunities for networking, participation in conferences, events and trainings.
“Be bold and celebrate it” is part of our approach to supporting women in technology and their careers. We encourage our employees to advocate for individual accomplishments and for other women in the tech community. This supports personal confidence growth and helps to create a positive, reinforcing atmosphere for collective achievement. Our aim is to build a culture of celebrating success, together.

The first edition of the EY Women in Tech Global Awards took place in 2025 to recognize outstanding women, allies and initiatives in nine unique categories within EY.

Our Young Leader Feature Project recognizes and showcases the achievements of high performing talent who are making waves in Tech and have the potential to become leaders of the future.
Likeminded groups of EY professionals, women and allies, are working jointly with clients and alliance partners to advance inclusion in tech, build their skills and grow their professional networks in the tech field. The global EY Women in Technology program builds an umbrella and acts as the connector for a growing number of these communities around the world.
