Corporate Relations Manager

About Technovation

Technovation is the world’s largest technology entrepreneurship program for girls.

Our mission is to empower girls, especially those from underrepresented communities, to develop problem-solving skills, self-efficacy, and financial capacity, critical to them becoming leaders and changemakers in their communities. In the Technovation Girls program, teams of girls are supported by mentors to develop app-based solutions to problems in their communities. Over the past 18 years, we have engaged 350,000 participants across 120+ countries. We are able to accomplish this impact thanks to our global community of Chapter Ambassadors—leaders at partner organizations who bring this experience to their local communities.

We recently created a very ambitious strategic plan to leverage our global network of partners to make a significant impact in increasing the number of women in positions of influence, power, and leadership—especially in STEM. Our goal is to empower and engage 25 million girls around the world over the coming years.
