ZEISS Women Award — Digital Entrepreneurship

Illustrate the innovative character and impact of your work in a way that will be understood by readers outside your area of expertise. Consider reflecting on the overarching vision for your innovation, the problem you are addressing, how your product or service provides a solution, who your target users are, what sets your idea apart, and your business model. Share measurable impacts or successes your innovation has achieved so far. Tell us about your personal intrinsic motivation behind the project, including who or what inspired the development of your idea, your long-term goals, the significance of the idea to you, the impact you hope to contribute to, and your journey as a visionary woman in the digital and IT space.

This category recognizes those who have thought outside the box and thus demonstrated a particular flair for trends, needs or innovation in the digital and IT context. We are looking for applicants with digital technology driven ideas, development or realization of business opportunities in the form of new solutions, services or platforms. This prize will be awarded to a visionary woman who takes bold paths.
