## Source excerpt

The Women in Tech Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Deliveroo was officially founded in 2023, and we are proud to represent an amazing community of female employees who identify as working in Tech at Deliveroo. This includes, but is not limited to, Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers, and Product Managers and we also welcome those who want to move into a Tech role. We host many events and initiatives throughout the year that align with our mission to connect and empower women in technology to excel in their careers at Deliveroo and beyond. For our main end-of-year event, we chose to showcase some of the wonderful projects our female employees achieved last year, in the form of 5-minute lightning talks.
