Inclusive Action Awards 2025 for Women-Led SMEs ($50,000 Cash Prize, Certificate of Recognition, Global Media Exposure)

This program aims at recognizing SMEs in emerging markets that create economic opportunities for women, whether as entrepreneurs or employees, or consumers. If you run a women-led business that’s contributing significantly to the economic empowerment of women, you may consider entering the awards.

The Inclusive Action Awards are organized by the Inclusive Action Hub, led by Value for Women, and are supported by Visa Foundation. Entries will be evaluated based on their integration of gender inclusion into their mission and operations, innovativeness, impact on women within their business and the communities they serve, and the sustainability of their gender inclusion practices.
