ExoClick is an innovative ad network based in Barcelona, Spain. ExoClick has a diverse and multicultural team<\/span><\/a><\/strong> of 90+ individuals, 43%<\/b> of which are women. The international average of female representation within the tech world is 26.7%<\/span><\/a>, with only 26.2%<\/b> female employees in tech firms with more than 10k employees, making ExoClick one of the best places to work for women in tech.

That\u2019s why International Women\u2019s Day is extremely important: To remind businesses and individuals to empower women working in tech in Barcelona and everywhere, taking action within the workplace to embrace gender equality!<\/p>\n

International Women’s Day 2023 DigitALL<\/b><\/span>: Changing the tech industry<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

International Women’s Day is a global event celebrated every year on March 8th. This event recognizes the incredible achievements of women working in tech and all other industries, raises awareness and encourages others to advocate for gender equality. National Women\u2019s Day was established in 1909, which later became celebrated in other parts of the world and became known as International Women\u2019s Day in 1911. The topic for 2023 is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality<\/a><\/b>“. Whilst the tech industry has been a male-dominated field for the longest time, it is not exempt of examples of female entrepreneurs that have already been making a difference and changing the tech business landscape:<\/p>\n
