Our Vision

To build an equitable future for all by closing gaps and creating more gender-inclusive solutions in science, technology and financing.

The Equity 2030 Alliance envisions a world of infinite opportunities for all. The Alliance leverages the collective power of positive disruptors to close the gender-equity gap in science and technology design. The Alliance seeks to accelerate actions to normalize gender equity in science and technology by introducing data-driven arguments and strategies. We believe our actions will lead to an inclusive, sustainable and gender-equitable future in which women’s voices are heard, their needs are met and their potential is fulfilled.

Our focus areas

Solutions Design

Integrating gender equity in design at all stages of development of solutions.

Data

Incorporating gender equity in data, including while developing algorithms and training data sets, establishing data security and adopting customer technologies.

Financing

Securing equitable financing to design, develop and produce women-centric solutions, including in the areas of well-being, health care and education.

Why Engage?

To ensure a world of infinite opportunities for all, the Alliance seeks to build an equitable future that can be achieved only if advances in science and technology include and address the needs of all. Lack of women’s inclusion in all stages of the design and development of science and technology results in gender-blind solutions. Inadequate investment in research and innovation to address the needs of women and girls leads to a gap in women-centric solutions.

A substantial body of evidence suggests that technology design is often gender blind across industries, including in health care, well-being and education. Together, we can change this. Creating gender-equitable solutions results in greater equality, leading to economic growth for individuals, communities, businesses and states.

How do we challenge the status quo?

To normalize gender equity in science and technology, the Alliance accelerates transformative norms and principles and introduces data-driven arguments and strategies to close the gaps in women-focused and gender-inclusive solutions in science, technology and financing by 2030. The Alliance mobilizes influencers and uses resources and expertise to amplify the global power of its members to disrupt the current status quo and build gender-transformative science and technology solutions.

The world is not designed for women – let’s redesign the world.
