Techgirl.nl is the technology website for women. Techgirl was created as a reaction to all those techie sites which are mostly aimed at men. This doesn’t mean that each smartphone needs to be pink, however style remains important. Techgirl covers a broad range of topics from technology, media & lifestyle.
Founded in 2012 by Anke Horstman, it has become the leading technology site for women in the Netherlands. Its mission is to empower women in the field of technology. Not for nothing was the first ever computer programmer a woman. That’s why Techgirl wants to offer a platform for women in the IT sector and everyone interested in style and technology.
