Some of the leading Silicon Valley tech companies, including Google and Apple, give birth to Catalyze Tech. It is a new coalition that aims at increase the representation of minorities in various Silicon Valley companies. The coalition was born also thanks to the push ofAction to Catalyze Tech Report which analyzed the state of the tech industry on issues such as diversity, equity and inclusion.

The new coalition aims to define solutions to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in the tech industry. The project is based onAction to Catalyze Tech Report (available entirely online through the site actreport.com) which offers a snapshot of the state of the tech industry on these issues.
