Impact

Scaling Herizon in Malmö

Not enough women and people of colour are represented in tech today. This has severe impacts on, for example, Artificial Intelligence applications that have shown to have a gender and racial bias. Together we need to change that by showing that there's a place for everyone in the tech industry. We are partnering with Herizon as a scaling partner to help make tech more accessible to foreign born women living in or around Malmö. 


HERIZON is at the forefront of shaping #inclusive employment in tech by offering internship programmes that give women the right tools and mindset to break into the world of growth hacking. Over 2 years, 90+ amazing participants have joined HERIZON's internship programme – and 92% were successfully hired afterwards! 


The impact we aim to achieve:


  • Increase confidence of foreign born women to get work in Sweden/Malmö

  • A more diverse startup ecosystem, that is reflective of Malmö's diversity

  • Greater representation of foreign born, immigrant women in the Swedish/Malmö start-up ecosystem 

  • Increase employment rates among foreign born women in Sweden/Malmö

The outcomes we aim to achieve:


  • A model for other Swedish cities to integrate foreign born women in the workforce and startup ecosystem effectively

  • Create opportunities for more women to be integrated in these industries

  • Create a network tht support all parties involved
