What is it?
Scotland Women in Tech (SWiT) is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for women in the technology sector. Techscaler Highlands & Islands shares this mission, supporting the tech community across the region and creating opportunities for connection, collaboration and growth.
The Highlands and Islands have a growing tech presence, yet professionals in the sector can often feel isolated, as many meet-ups and events are centred in the Central Belt. By establishing an ongoing series of SWiT meet-ups, we aim to connect women working in tech across the region, providing them with valuable opportunities to share their experiences, present their work and support one another.
For our next meet-up, our session will be titled Digital in the Wild: Stories from the Edge of Innovation, a unique online event that celebrates innovation beyond the traditional tech hubs. By taking this event online, we can connect people from across the region and beyond, making it easier for those in remote areas to share their stories, exchange ideas and inspire others.
What can I expect?
This session will spotlight women applying digital skills in rural, remote or nature-connected contexts. From conservationists using mapping tools to start-up founders building products from crofts, Digital in the Wild will showcase creative problem-solving grounded in place and highlight how technology can thrive in environments often overlooked in mainstream innovation conversations.
