The Expanding Diversity and Gender Equity in Tech (EDGE in Tech) Initiative at the University of California is a high-profile and impactful way to demonstrate your commitment to ensuring diverse and equitable participation in tech and innovation. Whether you are seeking to recruit and retain top talent as a company or looking to support the next generation of women and BIPOC leaders in tech, your support will have an immediate and lasting impact through the EDGE in Tech Initiative at the University of California.

Sponsorship of the EDGE in Tech Initiative at the University of California events and efforts supports:

• Research, collection of data, and adoption of evidence-based best practices for promoting equity.
• Showcases exceptional role models for women and other under included identities in tech and inspiring leaders championing inclusive workplaces,
• Promotes and strengthens pathways into tech for women and others who are under-represented in tech,

Co-founded by CITRIS and the Banatao Institute and Berkeley Engineering, corporate sponsorship and individual philanthropy make this program possible and enables the EDGE in Tech Initiative at the University of California to spearhead initiatives for inclusive leadership, equitable workplaces, and an improved tech culture for all.

High profile sponsorship opportunities are available for the Ada Lovelace Celebration of Women in Robotics annually in October and the Diversity in Tech Symposium annually in March.
