HiQ and Women in Tech Sweden – Fifth Year of Partnership for a More Equal Tech Industry
For the fifth consecutive year, HiQ is proud to be a partner of Women in Tech Sweden, continuing its long-term commitment to a more inclusive and gender-equal tech industry. The partnership extends throughout 2026 and includes participation at the #WITswe2026 conference on April 22.
This year’s theme, “Riding the Tides of Tech: Turning Pressure into Momentum,” highlights the rapid development of AI, evolving skill requirements, and how leadership and professional roles are transforming alongside technology.
– The tech industry is evolving faster than ever. For us at HiQ, it’s not just about keeping up with change – it’s about helping shape it in an inclusive and responsible way. Together with Women in Tech Sweden, we create space for more perspectives at a time when both technology and society are changing rapidly, says Peter Arrhenius, CEO of HiQ.
– We see new roles emerging while others are disappearing. This requires continuous learning, courage, and a culture where people are given the opportunity to grow. For HiQ, gender equality and diversity are integrated into how we build strong teams and deliver value to our clients. Our partnership with Women in Tech is an important part of that work, says Helena Herolf, Chief People Officer at HiQ.
Women in Tech Sweden has grown from an annual event into a movement with more than 30,000 members. Through networking, role models, and knowledge sharing, the organization provides a platform that inspires more women to choose – and remain in – the tech industry.
In times of uncertainty, it can be tempting to step back. Our partners are doing the opposite. They are choosing to stay, stand up, and take responsibility for how technology, skills, and opportunities are shaped going forward. That matters — not just for our members, but for the entire industry, says Åsa Johansen, Director, Women in Tech Sweden.
The Women in Tech Conference 2026 will take place on April 22 at Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in Stockholm, bringing together talent, entrepreneurs, and leaders to explore how we can navigate – and lead – the tides of technology.
