The Community as the Protagonist
The young women in the CET Community are the driving force behind our initiatives, playing key roles in every space we create. As advisors, ambassadors, leaders, organizers, and decision-makers, they are transforming the future as an essential part of the organization, creating a more diverse and accessible ecosystem for all.
We launched the first edition of CETCensus, a survey aimed at gaining an in-depth understanding of the trajectories, experiences and interests of all the young women who have ever participated in Chicas en Tecnología programs and initiatives. This data allows us to explore how they have continued their journeys and strengthen our initiatives to enhance the impact at a regional level.

ROLE-MODELS
Role models in technology are essential for envisioning a future filled with possibilities in the tech world. At CET, we believe that connecting young women with role models not only helps them picture themselves in those positions but also equips them with practical tools and pathways to achieve their goals, boosting their confidence and enabling them to create a real impact on society.
146 professionals from various tech fields across 19 companies volunteered their time to share their knowledge and experiences, empowering young women and showing them that a future in technology is both possible and within reach. These role models inspire through their journeys, breaking barriers and highlighting diverse paths that combine innovation, creativity, and social impact. Among them, 17 volunteers led workshops on Artificial Intelligence, 21 on leadership and 22 on employability.
50 professionals joined as mentors in our 3rd Mentorship Program, dedicating their time, expertise, and knowledge to provide personalized and in-depth guidance to 50 young women at a critical stage in defining their academic and professional futures.
A United Ecosystem
Collaboration across all ecosystem stakeholders is key to identifying opportunities, co-creating strategies and responding quickly to the challenges we face. At CET, we embrace a multisectoral approach that enhances collective efforts by combining complementary expertise, amplifying results and driving innovative solutions that transform realities.
2,600+ teachers and school leaders from all 24 jurisdictions across the country have been trained in education, management, and technology. This strategy leverages the transformative potential of educators in classrooms, inspiring interest in STEM fields from an early age. To further support this work, we’ve developed pedagogical materials, including an educational repository, training videos and teaching guides designed to integrate these topics into classroom learning. This initiative is driven in partnership with UNICEF and the European Union.
We’ve built strategic alliances with more than 27 companies, 10 public sector entities and 10 civil society organizations, fostering a transformative vision to address gender gaps in the tech sector and redefining the use of technology for social impact. Additionally, we’ve established a robust collaboration network with more than 570 organizations across Latin America, combining expertise, amplifying impact and driving innovative solutions that change lives.
We participated in 20 prominent industry events, actively contributing to discussions on the future of innovation, broadening our reach and reinforcing our commitment to a more diverse and inclusive tech ecosystem. Highlights include events such as Nerdearla, EkoParty, the Women Leadership Summit, the GCBA Tech Entrepreneurs Meetup, and the Ojo de Pescado Festival in Valparaiso, Chile, among others.
Measuring to Impact
Understanding the gender gap in technology is essential for driving effective interventions. At CET, we build robust evidence to shed light on the gap and provide the tools needed to design targeted actions that foster inclusion and empower young women in technology.
CET’s Voice in the Public Agenda
We amplified awareness of the gender gap in technology with a multiplatform content strategy rooted in the evidence we have built, resulting in 223 media appearances. This approach allowed us to expand our message, position the gender gap in technology as a critical issue on the public agenda, attract new allies and spark essential discussions on the need for concrete and transformative solutions.
