If Sci-fi is a Prelude to Our Future, We Need More Heroines

Women in Tech SIG Will Be Elevated to a Chapter

The community of women in tech is steadily growing, and many of them in turn have contributed to the tech industry’s growth. The inaugural Singapore 100 Women in Tech (SG100WIT) List, championed by SCS in partnership with Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), gives recognition to their achievements.

Building on this momentum, the SCS Women in Tech (WIT) Special Interest Group (SIG) will be elevated to a Chapter in January 2021 and helmed by Tan Lee Chew, Managing Director of Amazon Web Services. The new WIT Chapter will further the collaboration with IMDA to foster a close-knit community among female professionals and students in the local tech ecosystem, including running the next edition of the SG100WIT. More activities such as webinars and forums will also be organised to inspire tech interest among girls – with the aim of encouraging more to take up STEM courses, and eventually grow into tech professionals and leaders in the future.
