Tech Agency 10Pearls Launches New Program To Empower Costa Rica’s Women In Tech

Published:


10Pearls, a global, purpose-driven digital technology partner, is launching a “Women in Tech” program for Latin American women in Costa Rica on February 10th.

Founded by brothers Imran and Zeeshan Aftab, 10Pearls partners with clients to imagine, design, build, and deliver innovative mobile and digital products.

The company has a diverse clientele that includes Global 1000 enterprises and high-growth startups and has offices in the US, Costa Rice, Colombia, the UK, Pakistan, and Peru.

Women in Tech Program

The Women in Tech launch event in Costa Rice will consist of a series of talks by industry experts and professionals, with plans to incorporate a competition across coding, testing, and UX/UI design categories.

The event is designed for women in tech at all career stages. It seeks to include everyone from students to seasoned professionals to allow for learning between generations and unlock diverse perspectives.

According to a recent study from McKinsey, Black, Latina, and Native American women represent just 4% of all technology workers despite increased enrollment in computer degrees.

Moreover, in Costa Rica, only 355 (26%) of the 1,406 professionals enrolled in computing in 2021 were women, according to the 2023 State of Education report.

“The launch of Women in Tech in Costa Rica marks an exciting milestone,” said Imran Aftab, CEO of 10Pearls.

“Latin America is a hotbed of talent, and at 10Pearls, we’re eager to do our part to ensure more women in the region can unlock career pathways in the tech industry.”

“We’re looking forward to connecting with the vibrant community in Costa Rice and, in the future, across Latin America as we expand the reach of this initiative.”
