Cartier Women’s Initiative celebrates 20th anniversary
The Cartier Women’s Initiative (CWI) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
The initiative aims to shine a spotlight on female entrepreneurs who are striving for a fairer and more sustainable future.
Those women who are selected as fellows under the scheme receive financial grants, coaching, and access to a community of like-minded peers.
In the 20 years that it’s been going, the CWI has supported 330 entrepreneurs across 66 countries, with $14.1 million being distributed in that time.
The initiative will be announcing 30 new fellows for 2026 at its awards ceremony on Jun 10 in Bangkok, and it’s also encouraging applications for its 2027 edition from April 16.
