What SheTech does

SheTech ETS is an Italian non-profit association registered in Milan (Tax ID CF 97806530156) dedicated to advancing gender equality in the Italian tech and digital sectors. Founded in February 2019, the organization operates as a national community platform combined with a portfolio of events, training programs, publications, and tools. Its core proposition is twofold: deliver networking, mentorship, and professional development to women working, studying, or entering tech and digital; and serve corporate buyers of DE&I, employer branding, and talent-attraction services. Core technology consists of a community membership platform (hosted at community.shetechitaly.org) that gates access to mentorship, exclusive workshops, recorded webinars, job postings, partner discounts, and the annual SheTech Fest, alongside standard event ticketing (e.g., Eventbrite), content publishing (blog, email, social), and a directory/database product (Database donne tech&digital ON STAGE). The product surface is broad and modular rather than unified, spanning flagship annual events (SheTech Fest), recurring corporate-facing formats (SheTech Breakfast, SheTech Connections, Tech Drinks, Coding Bootcamp, AI Bootcamp), training pathways delivered through partners (Opening Future with Google Cloud, Intesa Sanpaolo, and TIM Enterprise), youth programs (Technovation Girls Italy, ValorizzarSì summer camp), leadership and entrepreneurship programs (Women Will, IO/Impresa), and a salary transparency tool (StipendioGiusto x SheTech). Annual publications (Founders List, GenIA Report, Inside the GAP Report) anchor brand visibility, with the 8th consecutive Founders List published in 2026.

The organization's operations are staffed by a small core team of roughly seven people plus a President (Lisa Di Sevo), led by Managing Director Chiara Brughera, with execution scaled through an unpaid ambassador network spanning 25+ Italian cities. The business model blends three revenue streams: Italian 5x1000 tax-designation donations (made possible by its ETS status), recurring individual community membership subscriptions, and corporate partnership fees for DE&I projects, employer branding, talent attraction, and employee engagement training. Pricing for memberships and corporate partnerships is not publicly disclosed. Reported cumulative impact since 2023 includes 400+ events and 13,000+ people trained, with an active community of over 1,200 members nationwide. Customer logos include 40+ enterprises across financial services (UniCredit), consulting (KPMG, Deloitte, BearingPoint, NTT Data), technology (AWS, SAS, Cisco, Dell, Salesforce, Oracle, Alkemy), energy (Schneider Electric, Enel/Plenitude, Snam, Terna), retail (eBay, AS Watson, EssilorLuxottica), and cloud/fintech (Satispay, Scalapay, CheckSig).

• Women Who Code: Global non-profit network running local chapters, technical workshops and networking programs for women in tech. Highly comparable to SheTech in mission (women-in-tech community + training) but operates at global scale rather than Italy-only.
• Donne 4.0: Italian association promoting women's participation in Industry 4.0, AI and digital innovation. Direct domestic peer to SheTech in the Italy-based women-in-tech community segment.
• Black Girls CODE: Non-profit providing technology education for underrepresented girls and women through workshops and bootcamps. Closely mirrors SheTech's model of bootcamps + community + corporate partnerships, with mission focus on a different demographic.
• Les Elles du Numérique: French non-profit association promoting women in digital and tech through networking events, training and corporate partnerships. Near-identical operating model to SheTech in a neighboring European market.
• Women in Tech (global): International non-profit with national chapters focused on closing the gender gap in tech via events, mentorship and corporate partnerships. Closest mission match to SheTech with a comparable chapter-based ambassador model.

Emerging players

• Generation Italy: Non-profit workforce training provider focused on tech careers for underserved groups in Italy (also a SheTech community partner). Comparable on bootcamp-style training delivery and employer-talent pipeline focus.
• Girl Develop It: Non-profit offering coding classes and workshops for women with beginner-level programming curricula. Comparable to SheTech's Coding Bootcamp product line, with narrower scope (coding only) and similar community-driven model.

Regional players
