About Technovation

Technovation is the world’s largest technology entrepreneurship program for girls. Our mission is to empower girls, especially those from underrepresented communities, to develop problem solving skills, self-efficacy, and financial capacity, critical to them becoming leaders and changemakers in their communities. Through Technovation, girls work in teams supported by mentors to develop mobile & AI based solutions to problems in their communities. Over the past 16 years we have engaged ~350,000 participants across 120+ countries. We are able to accomplish this impact thanks to our global community of Chapter Ambassadors who volunteer their time and effort to lead Technovation Girls in their communities.

We are now embarking on an ambitious plan to reach more girls by providing our Chapter Ambassadors with opportunities and resources that help increase their reach, impact, and sense of community. Over the next 15 years, we aim to reach 25 million girls and young women around the world. Are you interested in helping us reach these young women?
