Award for female entrepreneurs in ICT

19 June 2023

The Dona TIC Awards, organized by the Secretariat of Digital Policies of the Government of Catalonia, are now open for applications.

The presentation of this award takes place within the framework of Ada Lovelace Day, the first programmer in history. This year it will be on October 10.
