Women Run Impact-Driven Enterprises Ecosystem Mapping
In partnership with INSEAD Business School and McKinsey & Company, this study highlights gaps and opportunities in these dynamic ecosystems to enhance collaboration and support for women-run impact-driven businesses in markets across the globe.
Abstract
The Cartier Women’s Awards seeks to drive change by empowering women entrepreneurs. In partnership with INSEAD Business School and McKinsey & Company, the business plan competition annually attracts nearly 3000 applicants from 142 countries across the globe. Finalists receive prize money, mentoring, training, media visibility and the opportunity to join a global network of remarkable women determined to change the world for the better.
As the Awards have evolved, organizing partners have observed a strong correlation between the long-term success of these entrepreneurs and the strength of the applicant’s local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
With the aim of better understanding the ecosystems in which these dynamic women entrepreneurs operate and enhancing their opportunities for success, CWIA and INSEAD have joined forces with Impact Hub, the world’s largest network of locally rooted, globally connected entrepreneurial communities generating positive social and environmental impact in over 100 cities worldwide.
