STATE OF TECH DIVERSITY- BLACK TECH ECOSYSTEM

The Black Tech Initiative presents "State of Tech Diversity: The Black Tech Ecosystem Report," a comprehensive analysis of the current landscape for Black professionals in the technology sector. This groundbreaking report examines the persistent challenges and disparities faced by Black individuals across the tech pipeline, from K-12 education through higher education, workforce representation, and entrepreneurship. Key highlights of the report include:

​

• Underrepresentation of Black students in computer science education

• Declining trends in Black students earning computer science degrees
