Women in Tech

With a proportion of women of about one third, RISC Software GmbH is already above the industry average. We aim to systematically build upon this strength with the help of our dedicated funding initiatives.

Our goal is to increase the proportion of women in the company while simultaneously motivating and preparing employees for leadership positions. The compatibility of work, family, education and leisure is very important to us. In addition, we promote team spirit through numerous health-promoting measures and leisure activities.

The visibility of women in IT is already well established at RISC Software GmbH and is set to be further increased through the proposed initiative. Upon completion of the preliminary projects, we were able to raise the proportion of women from 20% to the current 31%. The goal is to continue increasing this share in the coming years.

Gender equality is a personal concern of mine, which I have been helping to advance since the very first funded project, FUTURISC. Evolving this commitment into lived diversity is the only logical step and has always been part of our DNA. As Head of Communications, I ensure that this diversity is communicated both internally and externally, as it fosters outstanding solutions and an innovative working environment.

For me, diversity and pioneering spirit are inseparable — only by embracing different perspectives can we truly dare to explore new paths and drive innovation.

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, I experience how RISC Software GmbH actively promotes diversity and equal opportunities across all areas. I personally hope to serve as a role model and inspire more women to pursue a career in technology.
