The Aurora Tech Award is an annual global prize for women founders of tech startups.

Women entrepreneurs in IT face challenges like investor bias, stereotypes, and a lack of role models, limiting their representation.

If you're a woman founder with a tech startup, regardless of the specific industry, and have a functional prototype or an early version of your product, the Aurora Tech Award is just for you.
