Women in Tech Global Summit 2026 is one of the world’s leading events dedicated to advancing women in technology, innovation, and STEM, bringing together global leaders, policymakers, and industry pioneers to drive real change.
Taking place on April 28–30, 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa, the summit serves as a high-level platform where government, business, and civil society converge to shape a more inclusive digital future.
Positioned as the premier global gathering for women in technology, the event connects a diverse ecosystem — from heads of state and Fortune 500 executives to entrepreneurs, researchers, and grassroots innovators.
The program spans three days of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, and networking sessions, focusing on critical topics such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, digital inclusion, and sustainable innovation.
Beyond content, the summit is built around real-world impact. Its mission is to accelerate progress toward empowering 5 million women and girls by 2030 through partnerships, policy commitments, and access to opportunities, mentorship, and capital.
The event also features the Women in Tech Global Awards, recognizing impactful initiatives and leaders across the ecosystem, while fostering cross-border collaboration and “tech diplomacy” between nations and industries.
With delegates from over 60+ countries, the summit creates a truly global environment where strategy, innovation, and inclusion intersect — not just to discuss the future, but to actively shape it.
