Awa Prize is a competition that shines a light on companies and the women who run them. The Awa Prize seeks to unite a community of entrepreneurs around common principles in order to combat socio-economic inequality, but it also goes beyond this competition. Numerous local and worldwide events will be held as a result of the Awa Prize to educate men and women about the prospects that women’s entrepreneurship may foster. These occurrences will make it possible to advance activities that might be created to get rid of the enduring barriers.
