= Techpreneurs Awards for Women = The Techpreneurs Awards for Women is an annual award celebrating women entrepreneurs in technology. It not only aims at getting more women into tech jobs in a very male dominated industry, but goes a step further to encourage women to start their own tech businesses.

History
The Techpreneurs Awards for Women were created in 2014 by Fiona Scott Lazareff, techpreneur and founder of Divento.com. It was launched at the University Women's Club in London on 26th June 2014. In 2018, the awards became a yearly event, taking place in late January/ early February, with 2019 marking the fourth edition of the award, hosted at the House of Lords by invitation of Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames.

Selection Process
The Awards are open to women entrepreneurs in technology. Applicants send through an application and a panel of judges select the best business plans. The finalists are then invited to present their project in a 3mn live pitch during the awards ceremony. The judges and the public select a Conceptual winner and a Veteran winner on the night.
