Since the onset of COVID-19, many women in technology groups have gone dormant, creating a void in the community. SURF Incubator aims to fill this gap by establishing a vibrant community space and organizing regular meetups for women in tech.
Joining our community gives you access to a wealth of resources and opportunities, including:
Mentorship: Connect with experienced mentors who offer guidance and support as you navigate the challenges of IT careers and entrepreneurship.

At SURF Incubator, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach their full potential. By empowering women in tech and leadership roles, we aim to create positive change and inspire the next generation of women to pursue their dreams.
