Czechitas z.u.

Czechitas opens the world of IT to women. Czechitas inspires and educates women to gain better careers. And Czechitas also helps companies and the whole Czech Republic to a better digital future. Because there are still few women in IT in the Czech Republic (11 %). And women represent a great untapped potential. For their own better life, and for the life of future generations.


Partnership Value Proposition 

As a pioneering bridge between private sector, public institutions, and education across Central and Eastern Europe, we offer EU partners proven expertise in gender-inclusive digital transformation.

This regional penetration demonstrates our capacity for systematic, nationwide program implementation.In the CEE context, our impact is particularly significant: we've helped shift the Czech Republic's female IT participation rate through targeted interventions, while establishing replicable models for other European markets facing similar gender digital gaps.
