Scouting impact entrepreneurs
For the third consecutive year, Impact Hub Amsterdam is proud to assist in the search for courageous impact entrepreneurs for the Cartier Women’s Initiative.
The primary goal was to provide guidance and support throughout all the stages of scouting for the local Impact Hubs in the selected countries. The local Impact Hubs scouted applicants from 10 countries: Costa Rica, Panamá, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Taiwan.
Nearly half of the CWI applications in the 10 countries were scouted by Impact Hub. The final outcome reflects that the Hubs successfully overcame the obstacles that emerged during the scouting and application process.
We take pride in supporting and coordinating the work of local Impact Hubs in scouting impact entrepreneurs worldwide for the 2024 edition of the Awards.
