As nominations for ÀϾÅÆ·²èCloud’s ‘101 Female Founders in Tech’ list draw to a close, the entries flooding in show an incredibly diverse range of businesses.
The list, which is set to appear in the final 2017 edition of ÀϾÅÆ·²èCloud, will celebrate the incredible women who have taken an idea that uses tech in some way and turned it into a first-rate business.
With nominations closing soon, the entries showcase a hugely diverse range of entries, from a business that makes 3d-printed museum objects for children, to another offering IT software solutions, to one creating wearables for kids.
In an industry that’s been called out for a lack of diversity, the list will show that there are some incredible women creating tech solutions for every kind of problem.
These women are joining a long line of female problem solvers, from the first computer programmer to the inventor of correction fluid – the precursor to Tipp-Ex.
