A bold initiative shaping the future of security and resilience through female leadership in defense technology
Our vision is a defense technology industry powered by women who lead innovation and shape global security and resilience. We aim to transform defense tech into a driving force for progress and meaningful impact by creating a community rooted in mentorship, skill-building, and equal opportunities.
The Women in Defense Tech empowers women in defense and security technology to lead and innovate. Through tailored mentorship, leadership development, and access to career-building resources, we are transforming defense tech into one that lives diversity, amplifies talent, and unlocks opportunities for lasting impact.
From high-impact defense tech hackathons to leadership bootcamps and strategy workshops, our programs are designed to develop skills, build alliances, and accelerate innovation.
We work at the intersection of defense, technology, and empowerment, creating opportunities for women to collaborate with military units, industry leaders, and research institutions on mission-critical technologies.
The Knowledge Hub brings together original insights, thought leadership, and personal stories from women driving the future of defense technology. From battlefield AI to policy innovation, this is where ideas and experiences converge to shape tomorrow’s strategic advantage.
