The AccelerateHER Awards 2021 have opened for entries and will culminate in a virtual finals event celebrating the achievements of inspiring and ambitious female business founders.
The annual awards provide an opportunity for businesswomen who have founded or co-founded their companies to raise their profile, gain access to leading figures from the global investment community and expand their network. Winners will receive a mentoring package from Investing Women Angels as well as a place on an international trade mission to Europe, North America or the Middle East, which is planned for later in 2021, but will be dependent on government rules over foreign travel and social distancing in light of the global pandemic*.
The AccelerateHER Awards 2021 are open to applications from women whose companies fit into one of the following four categories:
- MedTech and Science;
- FinTech and Cyber Security;
- CleanTech and Climate; or
- Disruptive Innovation.
All companies must be UK-registered and trading, or intending to trade, in Scotland. Entrants will initially be asked to submit a 3 minute video pitch, outlining their company’s ambitions, growth plans and international market potential. Deadline for entries is Friday 4th December.
