Because it’s time for a change in tech!

We are a team of diverse people who have all one thing in common: A passion for diversity in tech. Some of us work in the tech industry already and then we have people who do not necessarily work in tech but truly believe in our mission.
Together we work with our partners from economy, society and media towards a future in which we strive to ultimately close the diversity gap in tech.

Meet our founder

Hi, I'm Mina Saidze, a Community Leader, Data Evangelist and Diversity Driver on a mission to make the tech industry more inclusive. As the daughter of activists from Afghanistan, I deeply care about equality.

Since the age of 14, I have been an activist and represented Germany at the official G8 & G20 Youth Summit in St. Petersburg and London where my policy recommendations have been adapted by the international community.

"Driven by the idea of helping others, I founded Inclusive Tech, Europe’s first consulting organization and community for diversity in tech."

How did we get here?

During a hard-hitting experience, I became aware of the societal impact of AI and Big Data which piqued my interest in Diversity in Tech AI Ethics. I wanted to make my work more socially conscious, but there was no place to turn for my concerns.
