Sponsorship opportunities
Wired4Women and Brainstorm are encouraging players in the tech industry to show their support and demonstrate corporate responsibility, by helping to grow the female talent pool. By sponsoring the Wired4Women awards, your company can reach all generational levels of women either interested in or working in careers in the ICT space. As a sponsor, your company will be front of mind when female tech talent is engaging with the awards material and finding out more about the award winners.
And sponsorship is not just about attending the awards, but about giving back.
Wired4Women is focused on empowering the next generation, and some awards will include prizes and funds that will help young women to develop their skills, grow their business or benefit their communities.
With these ambitions we want this awards programme to become an annual mainstay in the ICT industry calendar. We would be delighted for you to join us on this journey of celebrating female excellence and empowering future generations to lead South Africa’s tech sector forward.
