Scout Lab, a creative communications agency specializing in human and planetary health, has been named communication Agency of Record for Technovation, the leading, global technology and AI education nonprofit.
Over the last 15 years, Technovation has trained 150,000 girls to be technology entrepreneurs and innovators — many of whom credit the program with influencing their interest, careers, and professional pursuits. In addition they have created more than 12,000 mobile and AI based apps solving real world problems.
Scout Lab comes onboard as Technovation expands its global footprint, including the recent launch of The AI Forward Alliance (TAIFA), a partnership it created with other global organizations and industry partners, and the alliance’s first annual report Women in AI: A Global Overview of a $200 Billion Innovation Opportunity. Scout Lab led the communications strategy for the report, which dives into the current landscape and future projections for women in technology.
“Technovation is empowering a generation of women in STEM, with 76% of its alumnae pursuing STEM degrees, compared to just 21% of women who did not participate. We’re honored to work with them as they work towards their goal to empower 25 million girls with technology and AI innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership skills,” said Kaitlyn Barclay, co-founder and CEO of Scout Lab.
“We’ve reached hundreds of thousands of girls globally, but there is still so much more work to be done. Partnering with Scout Lab was crucial to get the word out about our work, especially as we look towards a future where women will lead in technology and AI innovation,” said Tara Chklovski, founder and CEO of Technovation.
