The Aurora Tech Award exists to shine a spotlight on some of the world’s best tech startups and companies founded and run by women. It also seeks to reward the best of them with significant sums of money, exposure to a much larger market (on a global scale), connections to a valuable worldwide network, and guidance from seasoned experts and professionals.

The Aurora Tech Award wants to change this narrative.
