The Women in Telecoms Group is an industry community brought together to foster collaboration between existing gender, diversity and inclusion initiatives in the UK connectivity sector.
The Women in Telecoms Group is focused on supporting under-represented groups in their telecoms careers. The Group is a joint initiative formed by DSIT, Ofcom Together in Tech, UKTIN and techUK. The Group is comprised of industry figures, policymakers and academia who are convened to help boost the gender diversity and inclusion of the UK telecoms sector - access is open to all, just get in touch to request to join.

Telecoms risks missing out on the economic benefits and innovation potential that diversity can bring - and together we can empower and enable more people to consider a career in connectivity. Our community highlights opportunities and relevant projects, events of interest and seeks to drive meaningful change for our industry.
We were formed in early 2024 by the Department for Science Innovation and Technology's Future Telecoms Tech Policy Team, Ofcom Together in Tech, UKTIN and techUK.
The group will share regular updates from partners, stakeholders and industry voices and organise events and meet-ups that are open to all.
