Teknikkvinnor

What Teknikkvinnor does

Teknikkvinnor (Swedish for "Women in technology") is a Stockholm-based private for-profit organization founded in September 2017 that operates Sweden's largest network for women and non-binary people in technology, with more than 33,000 members in the main community, a sister network Teknikkvinnor Jobb with over 12,900 members focused on hiring, and a sister network Teknikkvinnor Chef targeting managers and leaders. Founded and led by Chairman and CEO Maria Norberg, the organization delivers four professional-services revenue streams to enterprise clients: DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) strategy consulting and bespoke change-management projects, training programs (including the six-month Chefsprogrammet inclusive leadership program and workshops on Agenda 5050, bias-free recruitment, and inclusive culture), and recruitment/employer-branding services that grant corporate clients access to the network via large events (up to 150 participants), niche events (up to 40 participants), and social-media advertising.

The organization's underlying assets are community-based rather than technology-based: the core delivery vehicle is a Facebook-hosted private community, supplemented by regional physical events across at least nine Swedish locations (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Luleå, Skellefteå, Sundsvall, Värmland, Dalarna) and a downloadable Agenda 5050 methodology of 46 inclusion tools developed from member conversations over three years. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are customized to organizational needs and sold primarily through direct enterprise field sales.

Teknikkvinnor monetizes its network asymmetry by charging technology-heavy employers for access to a demographic that is difficult to reach through conventional channels, while offering members career support, networking, and professional development. Named enterprise clients and partners include Scania Group, Volvo Group, SKF, Sweco, ÅF (ÅF Pöyry), Unionen Chef, Sveriges Byggindustrier, Realtime Embedded, and Karlstad Innovation Park. The organization operates with 1-10 employees, has not raised disclosed external funding, has no parent company, and reports no patents, certifications, or AI/ML capabilities in the source data.
