CARTIER SEEKS EXCEPTIONAL ENTREPRENEURS Deadline: March 10, 2010
Recognising entrepreneurs as having "the audacity to create, innovate and imagine the future," the Cartier Women's Initiative Awards aim to support female entrepreneurs who have just set up their own companies. Launched in 2006 in partnership with the Women's Forum, McKinsey & Co. and the INSEAD business school, Cartier's programme involves an international business-plan competition for female entrepreneurs who lead creative, sustainable and socially responsible companies.
The awards are presented every year to five laureates, one from each continent. Applicants, who can be from any country, are invited to apply online by presenting their business project in its initial phase (company must not have been created more than three years ago).
The prize includes personalised coaching, a $20,000 grant and an invitation to the annual Women's Forum Meeting in Deauville (France). Applications will be accepted until 10 March 2010.
