SheCodes Society BINUS International and Microsoft Discuss Potential Collaboration for Empowering Women in Tech

On October 11, 2024, SheCodes Society, a prominent student-led organization from BINUS University International, made significant strides in fostering collaboration and empowerment within the tech community by partnering with Microsoft’s Code Without Barriers initiative. This groundbreaking meeting took place between SheCodes and Microsoft’s team, led by Mr. Krishna Worotikan, Microsoft’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The partnership aims to promote inclusivity and bridge the gender gap in technology.

SheCodes Society has been dedicated to empowering women in technology by providing them with resources, mentorship, and opportunities to learn and grow. This collaboration with Microsoft’s Code Without Barriers enhances their mission of breaking down barriers and encouraging diversity in the tech industry.

The meeting marked an important milestone in BINUS University International’s efforts to engage with industry leaders, as SheCodes and Microsoft explored various avenues of collaboration. The event focused on how to better equip and inspire women to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields through workshops, coding bootcamps, mentorship, and internship opportunities.

During the event, Mr. Krishna Worotikan and the Microsoft team expressed their enthusiasm for supporting SheCodes’ vision. The Code Without Barriers initiative, which is central to Microsoft’s global mission to create a more inclusive tech industry, aligns perfectly with SheCodes’ objectives of increasing the representation of women in tech fields. By combining their efforts, both organizations aim to empower women with the technical skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to succeed.

The collaboration between SheCodes Society and Microsoft is expected to open doors for more partnerships, including coding competitions, hackathons, and skills-building workshops that would cater to aspiring women in tech. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of female tech leaders and ensuring that the tech industry becomes a more inclusive and diverse space.

As a result of this meeting, future initiatives are likely to be announced soon, paving the way for a series of events and programs that will benefit not only the BINUS University International community but also women in tech across Indonesia and beyond.
