🌐 In Belgium’s tech industry, women remain critically underrepresented, comprising less than a quarter of the workforce. Yet behind this disparity lies an opportunity to reshape the future—not just of technology but of society itself.

In this interview, Digitalcity.brussels welcomes Rein Meirte, co-founder of Clusity, Belgium’s pioneering platform that advocates for more inclusivity in tech. Driven by a vision to empower women and dismantle systemic barriers, Rein shares her journey, insights into Belgium’s DEI landscape, and the actionable steps needed to close the gender gap.

With programs designed to connect, train, and elevate women in tech, Clusity tackles challenges head-on:

In Belgium, Clusity’s initiatives are not just solutions—they are a movement.

Despite global advancements, gender equity in tech remains elusive, with women accounting for just 23% of STEM graduates in the EU* and facing 40% higher attrition rates than men in tech roles*. In Belgium, stereotypes, lack of representation, and work-life balance constraints perpetuate these gaps. Clusity’s work dismantles these barriers, advocating for structural change within organizations and society.

Diversity isn’t a buzzword; it’s a driver of innovation.

Rein also emphasizes the critical role companies play in creating equitable workplaces and the tangible business benefits of diversity—better decision-making, stronger teams, and accelerated innovation.

Through interviews, partnerships, and programs, we’re committed to reducing the tech gap and fostering a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
