Highlighting Women In The Ghana Tech Ecosystem #IWD
This Tuesday was International Women’s Day. To celebrate we put out a list of some very notable women in the Ghana Tech Ecosystem. From tech consulting to venture capital partners to heads of media brands, the list shows that women can definitely hold their own in the tech world which is dominated by men.
You can check out the list here and you can also see a bigger capture of other women currently in the tech ecosystem. We hope to build on that database to show a better representation of women in the Ghana tech space.
