CIRCLE is bringing She Loves Tech 2021 – a women-centric global technology startup acceleration competition – back to Pakistan for the fifth time. This year, CIRCLE – in partnership with organisations including Habib Bank Limited (HBL) and the United Nations Development Programme – is hosting 10 local rounds in 13 cities that will once again happen virtually, making it possible for women anywhere in Pakistan to join. The goal is to reach 26,000 young women through pitches, panels, inspiring talks, digital bootcamps, and workshops specially designed for them. Regarding this year’s competition, HBL’s Chief Operating Officer, Sagheer Mufti, says women in Pakistan must have access to equal opportunities and a seat at the table. Through this partnership with CIRCLE on She Loves Tech 2021, HBL will play its role in building an inclusive ecosystem for all Pakistani women.
