Technovation Girls
Empowering young women in tech
Last year, we were proud to be a national co-sponsor of Adfaber, an NGO in Romania, supporting Technovation Girls, an international programme that empowers young women (ages 8-18) to develop technical skills to tackle real-life problems in their communities.
The programme fosters a passion for technology through learning and mentoring. This year, it attracted 1,066 participants in Romania, with half from rural areas. The teams used coding to create mobile applications addressing real-world challenges such as peace, environment, health, equality, poverty, and education. The top nine teams, comprising 36 participants, advanced to compete in the European Regional Semifinals.
- 76% of Technovation graduates pursue STEM studies
60% of graduates directly attribute their career choices and self-confidence to Technovation
86% of alumni reported increased confidence in programming and entrepreneurial skills
Empowering young women in technology helps bridge the gender gap and diversifies the technological landscape. Over 20 Endavans volunteered as mentors for this programme. We are keen to expand our support in the coming years to foster the next generation of female technology leaders.
Endava’s support in the Technovation Girls programme has been invaluable. By providing mentorship, resources and unwavering encouragement, Endava is directly contributing to empowering young girls and helping them become future IT leaders. This partnership is essential in equipping these girls with the skills and confidence to tackle real-world challenges using technology. We deeply appreciate Endava’s commitment and collaboration in this transformative initiative.
