Why Progress Matters

Progress starts with access. When more people have the same opportunities, we all work better. But across sport tech access to visibility, leadership and opportunity is still unequal. We recognise that there is a significant gender gap across the industry and we are committed to playing our part in helping narrow it.

Our research into the experience of women in sport tech highlighted the importance of representation, community and inclusive working environments in helping more women advance within the industry – reinforcing the need to open up pathways and increase visibility.

86%

of women believed that visibility of women in senior roles was one of the three most important considerations for gender inclusivity within an organisation.

55%

of women said they were part of a network for women working in the industry.

76%

of women carers said flexible work practices are important to gender inclusivity.
