techUK champions diversity and inclusion across the UK tech sector, from campaigns to national policy influence. Inclusion is not a side initiative for techUK; it is embedded in the organisation’s identity and reflected directly in its values. In particular, techUK’s value of Respect drives the organisation to listen, learn, and create a space for its people, members, and stakeholders; while its value of Pride encourages the organisation to celebrate the diversity of its people every day, embracing their differences and the contribution they make to shared success.

TechTogether
In March, techUK delivered its annual TechTogether campaign, which seeks to break down barriers and create opportunities for all within the tech industry. Throughout the month, techUK marked National Careers Week by supporting the next generation in developing the skills required for careers in technology, and six techUK employees shared their perspectives on diversity and inclusion in the technology industry, featuring in a short film titled “Why Inclusion Matters in the UK Tech Industry”.

The campaign also featured the publication of more than 40 blogs, covering topics ranging from improving gender diversity in the tech sector and cyber security to the role of EDI in shaping a fairer digital future.

Violence Against Women and Girls
techUK’s Justice and Emergency Services programme contributed VAWG insights throughout TechTogether, bringing together leading professionals from across the sector to share their expertise on the issue. Together, they explored how technology and cross-sector partnerships are strengthening responses to VAWG, as well as how tech professionals can drive meaningful social impact. techUK’s focus on the role the tech industry can play in preventing VAWG has been sustained since the launch of its VAWG and RASSO Working Group in 2022, bringing together representatives from industry, victim services, policing, Home Office, Ministry of Justice, Police Digital Service and the National Centre for VAWG and Public Protection (NCVPP) to support the delivery of the Government’s mission to tackle violence against women and girls over the next decade.

TechPride
More recently, techUK launched “TechPride”, an opportunity for individuals in the tech sector to gather quarterly to discuss the importance of authentic representation in reshaping the future of innovation.

The first session took place in June as part of Pride Month, for which techUK partnered with community organisation RepresentAI, which has helped upskill over 1,700 women, LQBTQIA+ and underrepresented individuals in AI since 2025. The session covered subjects such as pathways for LQBTQIA+ professionals to thrive and lead in AI, how organisations and allies can amplify LQBTQIA+ voices in tech, and spotlighting famous LQBTQIA+ individuals in STEM. It left everyone feeling inspired and driven to continue the conversation.

Women in Tech Taskforce
Lastly, techUK is proud to have a member of its leadership team, Sue Daley OBE, Technology and Innovation Director, as a representative on the Department for Science, Information, and Technology (DSIT) Women in Tech Taskforce, helping to shape the national strategy to close the gender gap in the tech sector.

For techUK, inclusion isn’t a campaign, it’s a commitment, and it’s one the organisation will keep acting on, so the future of UK tech reflects everyone who builds it.
