Founded in 2006, Cartier Women’s Initiative seeks to drive change by empowering women impact entrepreneurs, providing them with financial, social and human capital support to grow their business and build their leadership skills. The Cartier Women’s Initiative (CWI) aims to encourage inspirational women entrepreneurs worldwide to solve contemporary global challenges by supporting and recognizing creative women who are making concrete contributions to finding solutions for the future of our planet, and by bringing these business solutions to the largest audience possible.
Aimed to have a sustainable social and/or environmental impact, this annual international entrepreneurship program is open to women-run and women-owned businesses from any country and sector. Following the celebration of its 15th anniversary on International Women’s Day at the World Expo in Dubai last March, Cartier Women’s Initiative has been looking for ways to extend opportunities to more impact entrepreneurs around the world and ensure the program evolves alongside new developments in their global ecosystem.
For over 16 years, Cartier Women’s Initiative has since supported 262 women changemakers hailing from 62 countries and has awarded a total of $6,440,000 in grant to support their businesses, all driven by a common conviction: Solving the most pressing global challenges.
Furthermore, the event will provide the platform and opportunity for women entrepreneurs to learn more about the CWI, and strengthen local and regional connections.
