Women and Tech

In the Balance

Available for over a year

The great new business empires of the world are in technology, that's also where the world's biggest fortunes are being made, so why are so few women involved? Is it, as a former US Treasury secretary once suggested, because of the lack of availability of aptitude at the high end? Justin Rowlatt is joined by Sherry Coutu, Angel Investor and a leader of Founders4Schools, Sireesha Jajala of Indian tech giant, Techmahindra, and Daire Hickey, one of the founders of the Dublin Web Summit, to debate gender and technology. And resident commentator, Colm O'Regan, reveals who his role models are and why they're important.
