What is it all about

Our mentorship program is designed to empower personal growth, cultivate tech talent, and strengthen Denmark’s competitive edge. Launching in October 2025, this 16-week volunteer program connects experienced mentors with emerging talents, including students, entrepreneurs, and professionals eager to grow in their careers.

Through structured one-on-one guidance, shared expertise, and dedicated mentoring sessions, participants develop valuable skills, confidence, and lasting professional connections.

With a strong focus on AI, cybersecurity, and other tech fields, the program helps bridge skills gaps, foster innovation, and build a more diverse and inclusive tech ecosystem.

Led by Women in Tech Denmark, in collaboration with InTech Founders, Women4Cyber Denmark, and Connected Women in AI, and funded by Industriens Fond, this initiative is a key step toward strengthening Denmark’s tech talent pipeline and supporting the next generation of leaders in the digital economy.

Who can apply?

As a mentee, you have to either work within a tech company, with tech products, development or a tech start up/scale up. You need to have a clear goal for what your mentor can help you with. We rarely have life coaches to sort up your whole life but we do have super competent people who can help you reach your next step.

As a mentor, you also have a strong connection to the IT industry and technology sector. Furthermore, you want to support more women in the field by being a mentor for one. Men are more than welcome to mentor in our program since we believe that they are part of the solution to increase diversity in the industry.
