How we create real change for people and society
Less than 19% of all developers are women and non-binary, and they leave tech roles at a 45% higher rate than men. Since 2015, we’ve created conditions for a more sustainable tech industry – for both developers and companies. We’re coding with thousands of people yearly, collaborating with companies across sectors and today we’re Sweden’s biggest community for programmers who are women and non-binary.

We support UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
We introduce programming to women and non-binary people through coding events, and educate companies to become more inclusive employers and increase gender equality in their workplaces.
A vast majority of all developers in Sweden are men. We aim to Increase the number of female and non-binary developers and hence the gender equality in the industry.
Diverse teams increase innovation and company profits and hence economic growth. We help companies become inclusive employers that appeals to a more diverse group of employees.
Increasing diversity amongst developers allows women and other under represented groups to join a well-paid industry. This means financial inequalities can be reduced between gender, cultures and nationalities.
