Why do some countries have a higher percentage of women in tech than others? Is it a matter of culture, education, policies, or hidden biases in the industry?

This talk takes a scientific and data-driven approach to uncover the global disparities in women’s representation in technology.

We will use worldwide statistics, historical trends, and sociological research to explore key factors influencing women’s participation in tech, from early education to workplace culture.

We’ll examine surprising patterns—why Eastern Europe has more women in STEM than Western Europe, why some developing countries have a higher proportion of female computer science graduates than Silicon Valley, and how societal expectations shape career choices.

By debugging these disparities, we’ll discuss actionable insights and policies that have proven to work in closing the gender gap.

Whether you're a tech leader, educator, or advocate for diversity, this talk will provide a fresh, evidence-based perspective on building a more inclusive future in technology.
