The City’s Invest Barrie division has partnered with Women in Tech World (WinTech) in order to connect women in our region who are in the tech industry and discover ideas to better promote the industry to women.

The Driving WinTech tour will be stopping in over 30 cities across the country, reaching over 2,500 participants and 10,000 stakeholders, through 50 community conversations lead by expert panelists. The findings from the tour will be shared back with the partner organizations.
