Our Vision
We envision a future where women lead in developing and applying emerging technologies across tech, beauty, fashion, and music.
Why This Is Important
Women comprise only 28% of the global tech workforce and 19% in the UK, with less than 10% holding leadership roles. Diverse teams generate 19% higher revenues through innovation, and closing this gap could contribute £2.6 billion annually to the UK economy. Niyo Fest 2025 empowers women, champions diversity, and addresses global challenges.
