Ladies rule in business

For the thirteenth time, the Foundation of Success Written with Lipstick is organizing a competition awarding Polish women entrepreneurs working for equality and ecology. The Businesswoman of the Year is a competition in which candidates can apply for the competition themselves or be nominated by third parties who have already noticed their successes and would like them to be appreciated by others.

So far, 121 women entrepreneurs and leaders working for equality, representing 27 organizations, have been awarded in the Businesswoman of the Year competition, which has been organized for thirteen years. 912 registered and nominated persons took part in the last record edition.

Bartosz Ciołkowski, general director of Mastercard Europe, the strategic partner of the competition, emphasizes that women do not lack good ideas for their own business, and are often prevented from implementing them on a large scale by insufficient faith in their own abilities and lack of support.

"That is why it is so important to show and reward those entrepreneurs who dared to take up the challenge and succeeded. Their attitude and selected strategy of action is an inspiration for others," Bartosz Ciołkowski emphasized.

According to data from the National Court Register, in 2020 every third company in Poland was founded and was run by a woman. Women dominated the services market at the end of last year, they owned three-quarters of companies in this sector out of 10,000 surveyed by the Dun & Bradstreet business intelligence agency. Most of them are small entities employing up to nine people.
