Speaking after receiving the award, Ramputswa-Tlale said the recognition reinforces Ticket Linc’s mission to transform the event experience in Botswana and other markets through user-centred innovation. She added that the support from the programme will help strengthen the platform’s next phase of growth.

The Women in Tech programme, run in collaboration with Standard Chartered and its local partners, focuses on empowering women-led tech businesses through mentorship, training, and access to funding opportunities. Each year, the programme culminates in a graduation ceremony where high-performing participants are recognised for their progress.

Ramputswa-Tlale’s win marks a significant achievement for Botswana’s tech ecosystem, showcasing the country’s growing pool of innovative entrepreneurs building digital solutions for modern business needs.
