Girls in ICT Week 2025 – a successful story with DigiWomen Cluster Kosovo
DigiWomen Cluster Kosovo, operating under STIKK, has successfully concluded its activities as part of the “Girls in ICT Week 2025” initiative. The primary objective of the initiative was to empower and encourage young girls in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector by creating a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences through inspiring stories from successful women in the field.
Throughout the week, DigiWomen Cluster Kosovo organized nine events held at nine different public and private institutions across eight municipalities in Kosovo, including Vitia, Peja, Gjakova, Prizren, Kamenica, Podujeva, Drenas, and Skenderaj. The events took place in various educational and innovation-focused institutions, including professional schools, high schools, innovation hubs, and technology parks.
A total of 15 mentors participated, professional women and leaders representing renowned companies and organizations in technology and business sectors, such as: 3CIS JSC, Dare to Create, Sentry Cybersecurity, Softeh LLC, Linkplus IT, Cacttus Education, Polar Bear Agency, Brandfluence, Next Gen Networks Institute, Imbus Peja, The Foundation House, and Women in Tech Kosovo.
During the interactive sessions, mentors shared their personal and professional journeys, emphasizing courage, innovation, self-confidence, wellbeing, and professional networking as essential elements for success in the tech industry. Around 300 young women participated in these events, actively engaging in discussions, asking insightful questions, and creating valuable professional connections for their future careers.
These activities were supported by the EnInGeP project, funded by the Austrian Development Agency and jointly executed by CARE International and ECIKS, marking a significant step forward in creating new opportunities and advancing gender equality in Kosovo’s ICT sector.
