This month, Sistech proudly crossed the 1,000-alumni threshold. What started in 2018 with 12 women in Paris has blossomed into a vibrant community of Fellows, volunteers, mentors, and partners across France, Italy and Greece. 

Over the years, Sistech has accompanied refugee and displaced women into tech careers, providing free training, mentorship, and networking opportunities in Web Development, Data Analysis, Cybersecurity, and more.  

Three more numbers we’re proud to highlight:  

  • 65% of Fellows moved onto advanced training or secured contracts
  • 16 different companies hired Fellows last year
  • 31 alumni came back as mentors, speakers, and ambassadors.  

As CEO Silvia Gallitto puts it: “Sistech is now more than 1,000 women strong. To that milestone we can add more than 1,200 volunteers and dozens of corporate partners, funders, and supporters that have joined us on this adventure.”  

The need is great. But so is the community behind this mission.
