Purple Woman 3.0 Is Back: Empowering Women in Tech This IWD 2026

This International Women’s Day 2026, the world is saying “Give to Gain.” PalmPay is turning this message into action by empowering young women with the skills and resources to thrive in today’s fast evolving economy.

The PalmPay Purple Woman 3.0 is a 3-Day Digital Financial & Technology Masterclass created to bridge the gender gap in tech. The program is designed to  equip women with practical, job  ready skills while also providing job opportunities for career growth.

Launched in 2024, the Purple Woman initiative has impacted 150 women in specialized fields, including Data Analysis, Software Engineering, and Product Management, with learning resources and hands-on skills to launch them into the competitive job market.

From March 5–7, 2026, 100 women aged 18–30 will be selected through a competitive application process to participate in this year’s cohort. Over three immersive days, participants will receive hands-on training from industry experts in digital finance and technology.

And it doesn’t end there.

Ten outstanding participants will secure a 3-6 month internship with PalmPay, gaining practical fintech experience that can shape their professional journey.

For participants of this initiative, the Purple Woman Program isn’t just about learning new skills, it’s about building networks, gaining confidence and unlocking bigger opportunities that will positively impact the trajectory of their careers.
