We had a great evening celebrating International Women’s Day in the House of Lords on Wednesday with a room full of brilliant women and men from the tech sector, and those passionate about tech policy.

It was wonderful to be able to hold this event with amazing speakers Paul Scully MP, Minister for Tech and Sherry Coutu CBE, serial entrepreneur & investor in successful companies such as LinkedIn & LoveFilm.

The session was expertly moderated by our brilliant Chair Baroness Nicky Morgan who is hugely knowledgeable about the tech sector thanks to her work as a former DCMS SoS.

We were very excited that Kwasi Kwarteng, senior member of Liz's leadership team - and Secretary of State for BEIS spoke at a CFTech x COADEC event last week to talk about Liz's vision for the tech sector. Our cofounder, Resham Kotecha introduced Kwasi and set out the importance of the tech sector.
