Cartier has announced this year’s finalists of its annual Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards, an annual international business plan competition for women entrepreneurs, in partnership with the Women’s Forum, INSEAD Business School and McKinsey & Company.
The 20 innovators, running 18 businesses, were selected from more than 1700 applications from over 100 countries and will be coached by professionals from Cartier, INSEAD and McKinsey & Company to prepare for the next round of the competition to be held in October.
Every year, six laureates receive US $20,000, coaching and support for a full year, access to international networks and media visibility and an exclusive trophy designed by Cartier. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Deauville, France on October 15. The ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Annual Global Meeting of the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society.
This year’s finalists “distinguished themselves by the impact they are making in bringing people together, developing a more connected science, redesigning our food supply and creating from natural resources,” according to a press release.
This year there are three finalists from the Middle East:
