It’s a good year for Women Entrepreneurs!

The Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards is looking for committed female entrepreneurs heading businesses with the potential to grow significantly in the years to come. It is a business plan competition aimed at supporting creative, financially sustainable and responsible women-led companies, in all countries and across all industries.

Joining forces with the Women’s Forum, INSEAD and McKinsey & Company, Cartier created in 2006 the Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards, an annual international business plan competition to accompany and guide initiatives by women entrepreneurs.

This year’s awards would be given to six Laureates in six geographical regions. The winners will receive a year of coaching, US$20,000 in funding, valuable networking opportunities as well as media exposure.
