    • The applicant should demonstrate that her company is ready to scale and grow internationally (the program is focused on supporting entrepreneurs that can scale and grow their companies beyond their domestic markets).

    Entrepreneurial Winning Women will be expected to demonstrate the necessary qualities to take the fullest advantage of this opportunity, including ambitious company growth goals, energy, creativity, entrepreneurial purpose and passion.

    Applicants:

    Applicants who are selected must make the following commitments:
    • Attend the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ Asia-Pacific webcast and regional event. These will be held simultaneously in a central location in each region and will include a full program webcast, followed by individual regional networking events**
    • Participate in at least two virtual training sessions in the year they enter. These will be delivered by video-conference and will be scheduled throughout the year.

    Those unable to commit to both events and to the training sessions should not apply.

    **While we aim to host the webcast and regional networking events in 2023, final confirmation will also depend on COVID-19 and the impact of the global pandemic. This will take into account travel restrictions governments may adopt, quarantine requirements (across Asia-Pacific countries) on entry and return, airline travel restrictions as well as general guidance by organizations, including the World Health Organization.

  • Benefits of participation

    The program is designed to empower entrepreneurial women with the following:

    • Provide access to international networks and markets to scale their businesses
    • Strengthen their executive leadership and business skills
    • Build their public profile and increase their visibility for themselves and their companies with corporates, investors, vendors, customers and the media
    • Expand knowledge with the latest information, research and executive dialogues about business strategies and practices
