Inspired by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda Millennium Development Goals, this chapter is an exercise to understand how the technology management (TM) discipline could reduce gender inequality in technology industries. We conduct a literature review of the TM field in the top 10 journals and then present the studies examining women’s role in technology-based industries as managers or entrepreneurs. The findings underline how gender equality is almost a non-existing topic in TM. Hence, this chapter actively calls researchers in developing data and knowledge on gender equality issues for women in technology industries. By owning the problem, TM discipline could produce research that will lay the ground for strategies and policies related to women’s employment and leadership in technology industries.
