STORYLINE:

Chinese technology giant Huawei on Tuesday awarded the winners of its information and communications technology (ICT) competition "Women in Tech" in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital.

Inspired by the theme "Tech for Her, Tech by Her, Tech with Her," the competition was launched for the first time in Bangladesh last year, attracting about 750 participants.

It aims to develop local ICT talents and enable knowledge sharing among current female science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students.

With the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as the strategic partner, 18 contestants were selected for the final round.

The winning team goes to Dhaara, a team that worked on how solar energy and other technologies can be used to ensure a safe water supply. Four participants won at the individual level for their excellent performance.

Huawei launched its "Women In Tech" project in 2020 globally.
