Announcing the shortlist for the Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2022
Thousands of entries, hundreds of finalists - but only 30 winners. Who will celebrate success in November?
We're thrilled to announce the shortlist for the Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2022.
The challenge of increasing diversity in IT is now firmly on the agenda across the UK, but it is far from a solved problem. Women are still under-represented across the industry, especially at higher echelons, and they're also likely to be paid less than their male counterparts for the same work.
The issue extends right through the career, starting in schools where education institutions report little to no growth in the numbers of women taking STEM subjects. More needs to be done to encourage the female IT leaders of tomorrow.

The Women in Tech Excellence Awards are designed to help move us towards a solution as an industry, by recognising and promoting IT's many talented women.
This year's shortlist represents just a small subset of the thousands of women who submitted their entries, every one of which was impressive in its own way. Making it all the way to the shortlist is a truly impressive feat, and all of our finalists deserve recognition for their outstanding achievements.
Now it's over to our judges, who are reviewing the entries and making the difficult decisions about who will win on the night. We will announce the winners at a live awards ceremony on Tuesday 22nd November at The Brewery in London.
The Women in Tech Excellence Awards are now in their sixth year. We've already celebrated the achievements of more than 1,200 women, in front of over 2,000 people - and as the industry's female coders, marketers and CIOs keep moving forward, we'll be there alongside them.
