If you're looking for inspiration, advice, or just a chance to glimpse into an intimate conversation between friends, mothers and leaders about their careers and lives, this talk is for you! Come prepared with questions for the leaders as we will have time for live Q&A.

The U.S. Department of State, through the Providing Opportunities for Women’s Economic Rise (POWER) Initiative, has partnered with Google’s Women Techmakers to host the Women Tech Founders Program. This virtual program will provide women tech entrepreneurs from across the Middle East and North Africa start-up training from Google’s tech and start-up experts and help build a network of future tech changemakers in the region.

Program finalists will be selected through a competitive application process that will be open from April 4 to April 30, 2022, with the first program session held on June 7, 2022. The program is targeting women who have launched a tech business within the last two years or are launching a new tech business with acquired seed funding. Fifty finalists will receive training on both tech and business development concepts with the opportunity to gain insights and mentorship from Google’s experts. Sessions will be tailored to participants’ skillsets to enable them to leverage technology to expand their businesses. Interspersed between technical sessions will be community building sessions that allow participants to network and collaborate with other leading women in tech in the region, as well as the United States, and U.S. government officials. All program sessions will be virtual and will be conducted in English.
