    What’s it really like to be a woman in the male-dominated world of tech and how do we move the needle forwards in terms of greater equality?

"This area is becoming a hub of innovation, largely encouraged by the growth of the port and associated maritime industries, along with so many other exciting diverse companies including some brilliant tech start-up businesses. I am on a journey to make Southampton a city of AI. The time is right for the city; it’s a city thriving and buzzing with tech talent"

- Dame Wendy Hall
