Cartier announces finalists for the 2017 Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards
With the announcement of the Cartier Awards 2017 finalists, Cartier remains deeply committed to supporting entrepreneurship from around the world through the annual Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards programme. Ten years and counting, the Cartier Awards has become synonymous with supporting creative excellence from around the world, as more than 160 entrepreneurs from 45 countries have experienced first-hand. Cartier, in partnership with INSEAD Business School and McKinsey & Company, announced today the 2017 finalists of the Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards. The 18 finalists were selected amongst nearly 1900 applicants from over 120 countries. In this new edition, finalists distinguished themselves by the impact they are making in ensuring food security for the future; leveraging technology to connect communities and empower individuals; enhancing the healthcare and social care systems; optimizing the use of resources towards sustainability. Since 2006, the Cartier Awards has supported women entrepreneurs leading creative, for-profit start-ups that are financially sustainable and socially impactful. The international competition celebrated its 10th Anniversary last year and continues to contribute to the global economy, by seeking out audacious female entrepreneurs who are making concrete contributions to finding effective and affordable solutions for future generations, as well as to encourage more women to achieve their full potential. Cyrille Vigneron, CEO of Cartier International, said: “Since its inception in 2006 and in less than a decade, the Cartier Awards has grown from attracting 360 to nearly 2000 applications. With a growth in both the quantity and the quality of the businesses applying, the initiative has become a transformative step in the lives of 162 women entrepreneurs in over 45 countries, creating over 5000 jobs. With the Awards, our Maison aims to contribute to women’s empowerment efforts worldwide and thus mirrors Cartier’s values: curiosity, audacity, caring for others and willpower to lead the change.” This year, INSEAD Asia Campus in Singapore will be hosting the Awards week programme (coaching and networking sessions for the finalists and jury evaluation), and the laureates will be announced at the international Cartier Awards ceremony on April 12 2017, at the Victoria Concert Hall in Singapore. By changing the location of the Awards ceremony, Cartier aims to emphasize the international dimension of the competition.
