Beyond Boundaries: Women in Tech Global Exchange to Happen March 6th
Event date: 2026-03-06
The full-day conference, held at Villa Rosa Kempinski, aligns with the IWD 2026 theme "Give to Gain," positioning generosity and cross-regional collaboration as catalysts for expanding opportunities for women in technology.
The Agenda: Moving Beyond Talk
The event brings together leaders from East Africa, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe to discuss a slate of topics that span:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Policy & Regulation
- Media & Creative Tech
- Women’s Leadership
Organizers have designed the agenda to offer tangible value, including hands-on workshops, a networking lunch, an Awards & Innovation Showcase, and a certificate of participation for all attendees.
Ticket Tiers
Early-bird tickets are currently available in two tiers:
- Professional Pass: Grants access to the entire daytime program and workshops.
- Premium Tier: Includes all Professional benefits plus an invitation-only LeadHers VIP Dinner, a curated networking experience for executives, investors, and creative visionaries.
Why "Give to Gain"?
The theme underscores the belief that when individuals and institutions share knowledge, resources, and mentorship, the impact multiplies. By pairing Kenya’s burgeoning tech ecosystem with Uzbekistan’s fast-growing startup scene, the exchange aims to forge lasting partnerships that accelerate female-led innovation across continents.
Bridging the Gender Gap
The conference arrives at a critical moment. Recent data from the World Economic Forum shows that women occupy just 28% of AI-related roles globally. This initiative seeks to narrow that gap by involving policymakers to translate dialogue into concrete regulatory support for women-focused tech ventures.
Spotlighting Innovation
The Awards & Innovation Showcase will spotlight startups and projects spearheaded by women, offering them visibility on an international stage. Meanwhile, the LeadHers VIP Dinner serves as a high-impact forum where investors can meet founders and cross-border collaborations can germinate.
A Growing Global Trend
The partnership reflects a broader trend of regional tech communities seeking global allies:
- Africa: Tech funding reached $5.3 billion in 2025.
- Central Asia: The startup ecosystem saw a 40% year-on-year growth.
Events that facilitate knowledge exchange are becoming essential infrastructure for sustained growth in these markets.
The Beyond Boundaries exchange signals a shift toward more inclusive, globally connected tech ecosystems—an approach that could reshape how talent and ideas flow between continents.
