On November 14, 2019, the Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (CCIFU) announced the launch of the second edition of the Businesswoman's Award: Створено жінками.
Mr. Jean-Paul Piotrowski, president of CCIFU, His Excellency Mr. Etienne de Poncins, French Ambassador to Ukraine, Ms. Maryna Bardina, deputy and head of subcommittee in charge of gender equality and non-discrimination, Ms. Maud Joseph, director of CCIFU, Ms. Sonia Zabuga, editor-in-chief of ELLE and Ms. Tetiana Popova, General Manager of Arena Media Expert, participated in the press-conference which took place at Ukrinform agency.
This award was created last year to reward a woman entrepreneur who recently founded her business in Ukraine. This competition is open to all women entrepreneurs, without any age limit, regardless of their company's sector of activity. Starting from today (November 14), candidates are able to send their applications to CCIFU (woman@ccifu.com.ua). Registration will close on February 7 at midnight.
Encouraging female entrepreneurship in Ukraine, showing women that others before them have embarked on the adventure of entrepreneurship, and that it is possible to succeed, is one of the objectives of this competition. This competition was created at the initiative of the CCIFU's Business Women's Committee, which brings together thirty women founders, directors or board members of French companies established in Ukraine.
A professional jury, composed of men and women, business leaders or directors from various sectors of activity, will select the finalists and choose the winner.
An award ceremony will be held in Kyiv on March 18. The winner will get a 5-day stay in Paris to discover the central offices of the French companies, partners of the event, mentoring of the winner by our companies, partners and a free CCIFU membership during one year.
