Building the Future of Digital Government, Together
The GovStack Women in GovTech Challenge is a global initiative dedicated to empowering women to lead digital transformation in the public sector. By fostering a diverse and inclusive community of practitioners, we aim to close the gender gap in GovTech and ensure that digital public infrastructure (DPI) is designed for everyone, by everyone.
Through hands-on training, mentorship, and collaboration, participants gain the skills and confidence to design and build citizen-centric digital services that are secure, scalable, and transformative.
Our Journey Through the Cohorts
2023–2024
The first edition brought together 139 women from 49 countries, creating a truly global network of digital leaders.
2025: Scaling Impact
Building on this success, the second cohort scaled up with 155 mentees and 53 mentors.
2026
Our most significant evolution yet! A dual-track model with Design and Development streams, participants will not only design but actually build functional prototypes.
A Thriving Global Community
The Women in GovTech Challenge is more than a training program—it’s a movement. Our alumni network continues to thrive, with members staying connected through events, mentorship, and collaborative projects. We are proud to feature Women in GovTech Ambassadors—seasoned leaders who champion inclusive digital governance and inspire the next generation.
