This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Embrace Equity,” highlights the importance of closing the gender gap and promoting equal opportunities. Despite the fact that women make up a significant proportion of the African technology sector, they frequently face difficulties in obtaining funding and technical expertise. As a result, Google believes that empowering female entrepreneurs through these initiatives is critical to creating a more equitable and prosperous Africa. These women have raised millions in a male-dominated startup space, and Google is committed to supporting their efforts.
Google Hustle Academy
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are crucial to the economic growth of the continent and are responsible for employing more than 80% of the workforce. However, these businesses are likely to remain stagnant if they do not have the working capital required for growth. To address this issue, Google Hustle Academy has been established with the aim of equipping female-led SMEs with the necessary skills to increase their business revenue, attract investors and customers, and establish sustainable companies. Throughout March 2023, Google will host six Hustle Academy cohorts in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, all of which will focus on women.

Inspiring Stories from #WomeninIT
Google is extending an invitation to African women to participate in its #WomeninIT social media series. The series is designed to showcase the inspiring stories of six exceptional women who are shattering barriers and making positive contributions to the continent in areas such as business, technology, entrepreneurship, innovation, and startups.
