The Black Women Business Network and its partners, Black Buildup and TAP Network, invite you to participate in a research project exploring the underrepresentation of Black professionals in B.C. and Alberta’s tech sectors.

Systemic barriers in Canada lead to unfair treatment and disadvantages for racial groups, especially Black individuals. The technology industry lacks significant Black representation. Addressing and understanding these disparities is crucial for a more equitable society.

The 10-minute survey is anonymous and an opportunity to share your experiences and contribute to our understanding of diversity in the tech sector.
