Women can be great IT experts too and that\u2019s why we want to help and point as many women as we can towards a career in IT. Considering that this industry offers more and more jobs, if more women were to choose IT as their career, the unemployment rate in our country would decrease.<\/p>\n<p>This empowerment project has been executed through a number of activities:<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Start TelAviv \u2013 a competition for female entrepreneurs in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>ITkonekt, with the collaboration of the Embassy of Israel in Serbia, organized the Start TelAviv competition for start-ups that had been founded by women. Winners had the opportunity to visit the DLD festival free of charge. This festival is the biggest international festival of innovations in Israel. This was a unique opportunity for them to meet leaders of the Israeli entrepreneurship, business investors and representatives of technological incubators and hence gain valuable experience for the development of their own business and find potential investors.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ITkonekt blog category \u2013 Women of IT<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Within our project: ITkonekt blog, we have started a category Women of IT where we try to present positive and inspiring examples of women working in the IT industry.<\/p>\n<p>Read some of our stories <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.itkonekt.com\/category\/women-in-it\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Participation in events that promote women activism and entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Considering that founders of ITkonekt are two women, better known as two Milicas, we are trying to present the positive story of ITkonekt at as many events dedicated to women as possible in order to share this example of a positive start-up as a motivation booster.
