Sponsorship and collaboration
Meet the future talents
Shaking up Tech brings together young women and people belonging to gender minorities who are interested in technology from all across Finland, as well as companies and organizations that want to help build a more equal, accessible, and diverse society and technology sector.
The event offers companies and stakeholders an opportunity to showcase their products, values, and people, while connecting with young people who are interested in technology, problem-solving, future innovations, and meaningful work.
We encourage young people to discover the opportunities that a career in technology can offer and to see the diverse range of people who work in the field.
A more diverse field of technology
By increasing diversity, we can together reform the field and broaden the pool of talent. Increasing diversity in the field of technology is important primarily so that new technologies and services being developed would meet the needs of a diverse society.
Together we can encourage more and more young people to see the field of technology as a place where they belong and where they can make a difference. Shaking up Tech gathers hundreds of young people interested in the field of technology from around Finland every year. Based on participant feedback, the event increases interest in the field of technology, makes the field more approachable than before, and inspires many to consider studies in the field of technology for the first time.
Shaking up Tech's partners are united by the idea that:
- different backgrounds enrich work communities
- diverse teams generate better solutions, services, and products
- an inclusive wroking culture supports sustainable success
Based on participant feedback, the event increases interest in the field of technology, makes the field more approachable than before, and inspires many to consider studies in the field of technology for the first time.
What kind of collaboration is possible?
Shaking up Tech is organized at several universities around Finland. You can join on-site at either one or several campuses!
In the morning talks, participants listen to women working in the field or professionals belonging to gender minorities tell their own career stories. We openly welcome suggestions for suitable speakers from our collaborating companies!
Through the demos, participants get to explore sponsor companies through hands-on activities. In the demo session and the study fair area, young people can visit different stations at their own pace, try technology in practice, talk with company representatives, and get to know various roles in the field of technology. Based on experience, it is precisely the hands-on activities and low-threshold encounters that make a durable impression in participants' minds.
Your company gets visibility both in the event's digital channels and on-site at the event. We can tailor the scope of the logo package according to your wishes.
