Glovo in partnership with Lagos State and She Code Africa has unveiled its Women in Tech Bootcamp Programme, aimed at fostering tech inclusion, providing skills training, and empowering women to build successful careers in technology.

The event, held in Lagos, brought together industry leaders, government officials, the European diplomatic community in Nigeria and tech advocates to reinforce Glovo’s commitment to bridging the gender gap in the tech industry and making a lasting impact in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem.

The general manager of Glovo Nigeria, Lamide Akinola highlighted the company’s commitment to advancing gender diversity and creating pathways for women to thrive in tech-driven roles.

“At Glovo, we believe in a future where women are integral drivers of innovation, especially in tech. We recognize that the challenges women face in tech go beyond technical skills; they include barriers rooted in access, opportunity, and sometimes, the confidence to take bold steps.

“Today’s event is our way of saying; we see those barriers, and we are here to help break them down with you. As the leading multicategory app with a vision to build the largest online marketplace to give everyone access to anything in their city within minutes; we believe that empowering women with digital skills is essential, not only for driving innovation and growth but for building communities where everyone can thrive,” she shared.
