The Awa Prize for Women Entrepreneurs 2023 application is currently open for women Entrepreneurs. The competition is organized by Enabel to identify women entrepreneurs from Belgian development cooperation countries and their projects. The Awa Prize will be given to any woman entrepreneur who is working in the circular and green economy in 2023.
Awa Prize is a competition that highlights companies and the women who run them. The Awa Prize goes above and beyond this competition in that it aims to bring together a community of entrepreneurs around shared values to fight socioeconomic inequality.
The Awa Prize will lead to the organization of numerous local and worldwide events aimed at educating men and women about the potential benefits of women’s entrepreneurship. These events will enable us to progress in developing initiatives designed to address the persistent challenges.
It’s crucial to emphasize that the Awa Prize for Women Entrepreneurs is always granted after the Organizer or a designated body evaluates the needs of the winners. The Winners or Candidates receiving a prize, along with the Organizer, must establish the support plan.
