Embassy Amman recently organized a TechCamp event from February 9-11, bringing together 50 alumni from the NEA region's TechWomen and TechGirls programs, along with 10 female students from Princess Sumaya University for Technology. The event aimed to provide participants with practical training, skills development, and networking opportunities.

The TechCamp focused on empowering women leaders in the tech sector by enhancing their leadership capabilities and promoting innovation and regional integration. Participants engaged in various activities, including a pitch competition, lightning talks delivered by women CEOs, and collaborative brainstorming sessions designed to address work and community challenges.

As part of an ongoing engagement plan, the TechWomen and TechGirls alumni will have the chance to apply for small grants. These grants are intended to help them implement their innovative ideas developed during the camp.
