MAKING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES INCLUSIVE – CREATING SHARED FUTURES

BlockW is a not-for-profit organisation which promotes the benefits that emerging technologies can provide to women promoting gender equality and bringing about more creative solutions, thus benefiting wider society.

BlockW was established in 2018 as a female-led network of volunteers from business, academia, government bodies and civil society. The network  was established to meet the growing need to create awareness - amongst women- of the ever-evolving range of emerging technologies.
