Women in Tech & Diversity

Canada is one of the world's most liberal countries in terms of diversity and inclusivity. This liberal mindset is partly due to entrepreneurs in tech hubs such as Toronto. With 44% of attendees identifying as women, Collision is one of the tech calendar's most diverse and inclusive events. Continue to read about Women in Tech at Collision.

The Netherlands also commits to increasing diversity within the tech sector. That is why RVO encourages women entrepreneurs attend tech shows such as Collision.
