Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is by no means a new concept, but the case for championing it is stronger than ever, and although massive strides have been made, there has been a clear stagnation. And the case for DEI is watertight.
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusionin series, which includes DEI In Tech Awards London, DEI in Tech Awards Dublin and DEI in GRC Awards will look to provide a safe and supportive space for like-minded individuals to collaborate, support and champion the differences that make us unique, and ultimately help businesses to thrive.
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Tech Awards is the go-to community to enhance DEI across the technology sector; allowing collaborative engagement in a space specifically created to support and open the door for the next generation of diverse leaders.
This initiative will bring together employees of all backgrounds and career levels within the technology industry, with the shared aim of creating a supportive ecosystem and championing equality across the workforce.
We will see senior technology business leaders, key decision makers and changemakers joined by their peers in HR and D&I roles from across the Technology industry engage with us to support, celebrate and recognise the individuals helping technology businesses to thrive.
According to a 2022 report from Dealroom, which analysed data on behalf of the UK’s Digital Economy Council, the UK tech industry is now valued at $1tn (£764bn), a milestone that has previously only been reached by the US and China.
It was revealed in 2021 that UK tech companies made up 38% of the combined valuation of European unicorns in 2021 – the highest percentage across the continent, with these figures firmly cementing the UK’s position as one of the world’s leading tech hubs.
Over the years, this technological revolution has changed our daily lives and the world that we live in, making our lives easier, faster, better, and more fun
