Cartier Women’s Initiative is inviting women entrepreneurs from around the world to apply for its 2025 programme.
The Cartier Women’s Initiative is an annual international entrepreneurship programme that aims to drive change by empowering women impact entrepreneurs.
Founded by Cartier in 2006, the programme is open to women-run and women-owned businesses from any country and sector that aim to have a strong and sustainable social and/or environmental impact.
It empowers women entrepreneurs with financial capital of up to $100,000 to grow their impact-driven business, human capital in the form of leadership training and mentoring, and social capital including media visibility, mentorship, and a lifelong supportive community.
For the 2025 edition, the Cartier Women’s Initiative will proudly host another Impact Awards edition, dedicated to former fellows who have achieved extraordinary impact over the years.
The programme has three features, namely Awards, Fellowship, Community, and Insights.
Awards
Global visibility and grant funding to impact entrepreneurs, selected as fellows, who are leveraging business as a force for good.
Fellowship
The fellowship programme is the human capital support provided to our fellows. It aims to equip our fellows with the necessary skills to grow their business and to enhance their leadership by drawing on the experience and expertise of industry leaders, academics, ecosystem enablers, and entrepreneurs, while also enabling peer learning.
Community
A vibrant, lifelong global community of 500+ active members that include impact entrepreneurs and their supporters.
Insights
Driving an active conversation on women-impacted entrepreneurs through content curation and research partnerships.
For each edition, three fellows will be selected from each of the nine regions below:
· Latin America and the Caribbean
· North America
· Europe
· Francophone sub-Saharan Africa
