DiversIT:Diversity and inclusion for a stronger, fairer and more equitable ICT sector for women

How can SMEs in the tech sector attract and retain more women and diverse talent? DiversIT delivers hands-on tools for inclusive workplaces.

In short
DiversIT empowers Belgian digital and ICT companies to create inclusive and diverse workplaces. Focusing on women and other underrepresented groups, the project supports small and medium-sized enterprises with practical tools for long-term change.

Need and relevance
The Belgian tech sector struggles with low participation of people from diverse backgrounds, especially women. This lack of diversity hinders innovation and social representation. DiversIT addresses this issue by helping SMEs build inclusive cultures that foster equality and belonging.

From approach to impact
Through interactive training modules, SMEs gain tools to embed inclusion into daily HR practices. Topics include gender-aware policies, inclusive recruitment, and leadership. We also bring key stakeholders together to foster shared responsibility for diversity. With both short-term improvements and long-term strategies, DiversIT contributes to a more inclusive digital sector through knowledge sharing and practical support.
