Tech and Inclusion: Åsa Johansen, CEO of Women in Tech, on Why Diversity Is a Business Issue

Technology is transforming everything. But amid the AI boom and ongoing digitalization, one crucial question stands out: how do we ensure that the tech industry is inclusive and truly reflects society?

In this episode, we’re joined by Åsa Johansen – CEO of Women in Tech, an organization with over 30,000 members and 40 partners working hard to get more women into tech – and to stay there.

We talk about:

  • Why diversity isn’t an HR initiative, but a matter of innovation, competitiveness, and the future of technology
  • Why companies that are serious about innovation must prioritize inclusion
  • How Women in Tech leverages insights from its thousands of members to become a driving force in society
  • The business benefits of diverse teams – and why AI makes the issue more urgent than ever
  • What 3,000 attendees can expect at Women in Tech’s event on April 23

Tune in for a conversation about tech and building an industry where more people want to belong – and why that truly matters when progress is faster than ever.

Tech Royale is hosted, as always, by Robin Askelöf, CMO at HiQ.
