"In an industry that is still coming to terms with its ubiquitous culture of sexism and lack of diversity, it is important now more than ever for women and people of color to be given access to opportunities that showcase their talent and entrepreneurial spirit. MENA women across the world are starting successful companies and creating innovative technologies that are quite literally changing the tech industry—challenging negative stereotypes about their community and bringing their own seat to the table.

"Universal Electronics is honored to sponsor the launch of the Women of the Middle East and North Africa in Technology Arizona (WoMENAiT) chapter, and is proud to support the goals and mission of this organization to help close the diversity and gender gap in STEM by connecting, mentoring, educating and elevating creative and talented women in technology," said Ramzi Ammari, Sr Vice President, Global Product Planning and Strategy.

We serve over 50,000 community members, 90% of whom identify as technical and self-reported as engineers, data scientists, researchers, founders, intrapreneurs, entrepreneurs, innovators and investors. Join us to elevate, support, and catalyze diverse Women in STEM.
