The Cartier Women's Initiative is an annual international entrepreneurship program that aims to drive change by empowering women impact entrepreneurs. Founded in 2006, the program is open to women-run and women-owned businesses from any country and sector that aim to have a strong and sustainable social and/or environmental impact.

Driving change by empowering women impact entrepreneurs

In May 2025, the Cartier Women’s Initiative proudly hosted another Impact Awards edition in Osaka, Kansai, Japan, to honor former fellows who have achieved extraordinary impact over the years.
