About the Contest
The BRICS Women Innovation Contest is a flagship initiative that highlights the achievements of women who are leading innovative projects and businesses in BRICS countries.
Organised under the framework of BRICS cooperation on gender and innovation, the contest seeks to empower women by providing visibility, networking opportunities, and access to mentorship, investment, and global markets.
Participants are evaluated across key innovation-driven sectors such as technology, health, education, environment, and social enterprise. The contest not only celebrates excellence but also contributes to building a more inclusive innovation ecosystem across BRICS nations.
By championing the role of women in shaping the future economy, the BRICS Women Innovation Contest supports broader development goals and reinforces the commitment to gender-inclusive growth.
