For the sixth year, the GSMA supported ITU International Girls in ICT Day by launching its Tech4Girls programme globally through a series of events at its offices around the world in Atlanta, Barcelona, Beijing, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, and Nairobi. The GSMA hosted various activities including high-profile guest speakers from companies across the tech and mobile industries through its Tech4Girls program. As a result, 203 girls were impacted from the 7 workshops held globally across regions at the GSMA.

The GSMA Asia Pacific region in particular hosted a robotics automation and coding workshop for 21 student girls at its Hong Kong office. The girls assembled their own robots and learned how to use coding for robotics automation. Supporting partners included: STEMex, the official provider of Engineering for Kids (EFK) from the US, and two local schools – Chiu Sheung School and Kwok Man School in Hong Kong.
