A global technology entrepreneurship program just for girls, Technovation is a 12-week program that teaches the basics of computer programming to young girls between the ages of 10 to 19. After learning the basic computer programming skills my team created a mobile application business idea and write a business plan. There are 14 teams of talented females from across Cambodia present their business plans and mobile applications to a panel of judges and investors. Apart from winning prizes, the winners also stand a chance to make a global pitch in San Francisco, USA.
Hosted by Technovation, the Technovation Challenge aims to promote women in science. With over 5,400 girls from 28 countries developing 1,029 mobile applications and learning how to launch startup companies, Technovation is slowly but surely accomplishing its goal of offering girls the chance to become high-tech entrepreneurs. The Technovation Cambodia National Pitch was held on April 24, from 8am to 12pm at the Cambodia-Korea Cooperation Center.
