About the team

On one hand we hear that there are not enough women applying to STEM jobs but on the other we know that 50% of women leave these domains mid-career. BELONGin offers a variety of solutions that help companies to attract & retain STEM professionals. 

During Circle17 Impacthon, BELONGin acquired new team members and got to apply design thinking on a gender equality problem proposed by one of the Circle17 challenge leads. The agile process helped harness diversity of thought to come up with interesting solutions for our partner.

Our journey at BELONGin is just beginning and our team members are motivated and engaged to bring positive change. We are working towards SDG5, SDG8, SDG10 and SDG17.
