A gender-balanced tech industry is becoming the norm in Moldova. The United Nations Development Program has helped the eastern European country develop a National Strategy for Digital Transformation, which includes getting more women into science, technology, engineering, entrepreneurship, art and math careers. It supports programs like Tech Women Moldova, an online learning platform set up by the Moldovan Association of ICT Companies, and Girls Go IT. “When you showcase women in the tech industry in a small country, the message reaches a lot of women," says Marina Bzovii, an administrator at Moldova IT Park, a hub set up by the government to make it easier for tech businesses to launch and operate in Moldova.
