The face of tech is still predominantly male. Despite advancements in equality within the industry, breaking into the tech world can be a challenge for women—particularly those in the Middle East, as tech influencer Shams Talaat has found. “A common stereotype is that women don’t belong in tech,” she explains. “I challenge this by showcasing how women, including myself, can thrive in tech.”
While society has yet to highlight women’s voices in this field fully, technology offers new opportunities. Social media gives women more chances to stand out, while major tech companies like Infinix are actively working to provide international stages where women like Shams Talaat can be seen and heard, making a lasting impact and inspiring other women every moment of the day.
