WOMEN IN TECH GLOBAL x THE SANDBOX DAO
What
Women in Tech Global is proposing a comprehensive year-long partnership with The Sandbox to promote women’s empowerment in Web3 and metaverse technologies through high-profile global events, educational initiatives, and policy frameworks. As the world’s leading organization for women’s advancement in STEM and a member of the prestigious Edison Alliance of the World Economic Forum, Women in Tech Global operates across four fundamental pillars:
- Education: Providing learning opportunities and skill development
- Business: Supporting women entrepreneurs and professionals
- Digital Inclusion: Ensuring equal access to technology
- Advocacy: Driving policy changes and industry standards
To date, Women in Tech Global has directly impacted 440, 707 people from 2018 through June 2024: 96, 457 through educational programs and skilling courses, 7, 562 through entrepreneurism (mentorship, career coaching, pitch competitions), 22, 226 through social inclusion programs and 314, 462 through events and advocacy activities. Our goal is to empower 5 million women and girls by 2030. This proven track record of impact and global reach makes the organization an ideal partner for The Sandbox’s mission of ecosystem growth and social impact.
The partnership will position The Sandbox as a main sponsor across major global events while establishing educational academies across key Asian markets. A key highlight of the partnership includes The Sandbox’s exclusive sponsorship of the “Woman in Web3” category at the prestigious Women in Tech Global Awards, one of nine categories celebrating excellence in technology and innovation.
Why
This partnership aligns perfectly with The Sandbox DAO’s mission of ecosystem growth and social impact through:
- Expanding The Sandbox’s presence at prestigious global forums including WEF Davos and Expo 2025
- Establishing The Sandbox as a leader in promoting gender equity in Web3 through the dedicated awards category
- Creating sustainable impact through educational initiatives across Asia
- Supporting the groundbreaking Osaka Protocol - a comprehensive policy framework for Gender Equity in Innovative & Sustainable Digital Societies
The Osaka Protocol, to be signed during the Women in Tech Global Summit (April 23-25, 2025) at Expo 2025, represents a watershed moment in establishing global standards for gender equity in digital innovation. This framework will bring together governments, corporations, and international organizations to commit to actionable steps for achieving gender parity in the digital economy.
