As part of the European Youth Awards, COPA-DATA is supporting the Swedish start-up imagiLabs in fostering interest in software development among young women. Sweden has been a model country for decades in its efforts to promote gender equality. In the current Global Gender Gap Report published by the World Economic Forum, Sweden once again leads the world in gender pay parity. These are ideal conditions for imagiLabs founders Dora Palfi and Beatrice Ionascu, who aim to inspire young women to pursue careers in programming through their start-up.
