As an international entrepreneurship programme, Cartier Women’s Initiative 2021 is now open to women-run and women-owned businesses with a goal of sustainable social and/or environmental impact, from anywhere in the world. Since it began in 2006, the programme has accompanied 240 female entrepreneurs from 56 countries with over 3 million USD.

The 2021 initiative is expanding to introduce a new Science & Technology Pioneer Award, recognising three more women on top of the existing seven regional awards for 10 winners. Each of the eight laureates will receive a grant of USD 100, 000 while the second and third runner-ups will be awarded USD 30, 000.

All laureates and 16 finalists will also receive support on strategic financial thinking, one-on-one strategy mentoring, media visibility, and International networking opportunities. Finally, there will also be the opportunity to join an INSEAD executive education programme on scaling social impact.
