01 Introduction 02 Workplace 03 Workforce 04 Marketplace 05 Next steps 04.4 Empowering women in tech HerHackathon is an online hackathon event designed for women, by women to close the gender bias in the design and development of products. Too many products carry a gender bias as they are mainly developed by men. HerHackathon tries to shift the perspective and counter underrepresentation of women in tech. For the second year in a row, AllianzGI partnered with HerHackathon, to bring young female IT professionals together to develop solutions for problems posed by partnering companies. The catch: they only have 72 hours. Four teams went for our challenge with members of the AllianzGI team mentoring them. The winning team – “Run the code” – proposed an application which would allow users to import their existing portfolios and banking data into one app, I was very impressed by giving them an overview of their financials the creative solutions the and ensuring strong data protection. Their proposal then went up against other participating teams came up favourites from partnering companies and with in such a short amount the winners were chosen. Although Run of time.” the code did not win, AllianzGI was able to source some great ideas and present our company as an attractive employer to Yoana Ivanova female STEM professionals.
