Women of Innovation Awards showcase Connecticut’s tech talent pipeline

Honored to be one of the CT Technology Council’s Women of Innovation Award Finalists highlighted with Entrepreneur Ayana Klein of 3Dux-Design in an article in Crain’s CT by Sujata Srinivasan.

Srinivasan shared "Finalists included biologists, geneticists, aviators, engineers, pharmacists, youth inventors, entrepreneurs, tech program coordinators for women, coders, surgeons, professors, and high school instructors, including an automotive instructor at a local high school and community college, and a molecular geneticist."

And she captured UP Founder, Candace Freedenberg, sharing, “Whether women participated in STEM prior to opting out to raise their children or not, they have equal capability to learn tech skills, contribute to manufacturing or other non-traditional roles,” Freedenberg said. “But women, relative to men, are at an uneven playing field in the workforce. And women who have opted out of the workforce are at a greater disadvantage.”

Untapped Potential offers programs and events to build experience, and a network of connections to help overcome inequities.
