Why are fewer women entering tech in Ireland?
TUWN’s Women in ICT Poll (2025) gathered insights from across the country and beyond, the message is clear: women face persistent barriers to entering and thriving in tech, including lack of early exposure, limited mentorship, and gendered industry culture.
But there’s also hope. Respondents suggested solutions like:
- More visible women in tech campaigns
- Stronger mentorship networks
- Accessible training opportunities
- Early encouragement in schools
While most respondents aren’t currently working in ICT, many are interested — highlighting a strong pool of untapped talent.
